    Removal of Gransport carbon centre console

    Can confirm access is gained by removing the vent sleeves. I wasn't able to do this without breaking some plastic tabs though, I think they are meant to go in once. I look forward to the future rattles when I have it all back together!

    Removal of Gransport carbon centre console

    Amazing, thanks Zep. So I've got to get that ******* coin tray liner out. I am attempting to get rid of my last bits of tech cloth (other than the headlining) so destroying that will not upset me.

    Removal of Gransport carbon centre console

    Anyone know how to get this out? What about the T-Bar thing? I don't want to break anything. From the workshop manual for the 4200 it looks like there might be securing bolts under the vents for the rear passengers. I've pulled out the vents but maybe it needs the plastic outer housing removing?

    Changing F1 fluid

    mystery solved. It is on the LHS of the car just forward of where the driveshaft connects. You need a deep offset 11mm to get onto it.

    Changing F1 fluid

    I sucked all the fluid out of the resevoir and filled it to the top with fresh, I think that should work pretty well. From the videos I've seen online, not that much comes out from the standard bleed procedure.

    Changing F1 fluid

    Does anyone have a good guide for this? We have some old threads but all the pictures are gone. What I really want is a clear picture of where the bleed nipple is which I think is on the clutch bell housing. I am working without a lift so haven't got amazing view to try and find it. I have the...

    Jay Emm’s Gransport

    Search on here for KW V3. I paid about 2100 for my set but that was on sale, and pre-covid pricing. I think they are made to order. Plus whatever for fitting, probably a few hundred at least, and then you need full alignment and setup, maybe a couple of sessions.

    Jay Emm’s Gransport

    I liked the video, but agree with others, that while they do have class-leading space in the back, it's not even as convenient as a small 5-door hatch for hauling people around, so its obviously not going to be good for that in regular use. Pretty sure the car is lower than stock as well, so...

    Giallo Grantourismo Gransport (The Banana) SOLD

    GS may in fact be the last car sold with a traditional manual odometer to go along with that analogue speedo. Great car, GLWS. Echo the other comments on the value, nothing comes close to the GS for exotic car value at the moment.

    Matrix Matters.

    I did it without taking the steering wheel out but I broke a few bits and it definitely risks damaging the dash.

    Maserati 4200/Gransport values - will they ever change?

    It might take our cars to make it to the 30 year mark before they start rising. Look at the traditionally unwanted Ferraris, I think 400s are achingly cool and they have probably doubled (at least) in the last 5 years. I only paid £16k for my GS in 2015 and it is probably worth that now so...

    Help appreciated - code 1211 abs/msr

    Since this is one of the best 'rear wheel bearing' threads, I thought I would update with my experience. I had exactly this code and these symptoms, and use my X431 Launch to determine it was the right rear bearing. I bought a new one from Superformance for the usual huge cost. WARNING - this...

    Rear wheel bearing - advice

    For completeness - yes you have to drop the subframe, and take the whole axle out.

    Control Arm MOT Fail.

    Sorry to resurrect thread but is there any source for 196779 at a sensible price? Got mine off to replace the hub and the boot has had it, surely MOT fail anyway.

    Going to France - Best way for your car!

    You don't need extra space on the tunnel. The only risk is curbing your alloys on the small lip they have to keep cars in the centre of the 'lane'. I would say other cars and passers-by are lower risk on the tunnel than on the ferry.

    Rear wheel bearing - advice

    I looked through the workshop manual but couldn't see any good instructions on what to do. I've got the hub nut off and the handbrake shoes disassembled. I have a big puller ready to go at getting the bearing off. It looks like there are four 8mm hex bolts holding the bearing assembly onto the...

    Hub nut size?

    Great thanks

    Hub nut size?

    I've had yet another ABS sensor fail so need to change a bearing assembly for the lovely new one I just spent £600 on. The hub nut looks big. Is it 40mm or 41mm? Anyone know from top of their head? The biggest socket I have is 36mm so going to have to invest.

    Oil tank plug threads

    Best money I've spent on the car. However pretty sure my skyhook was broken before as it was really dire.
