    QPV switch not pressing

    The CD-C and Trip switches on my centre panel switch bank don't press in. Everything else is fine, i.e Radio, Nav, TV etc. they all press in but the two offenders don't push in at all. They have worked previously though. Is this a simple fix or a a replacement unit ? I'm pretty handy...

    Rattly rear box

    Got a bit of a rattle in my QPV rear box. It's a standard QPV albeit with Sport options fitted from the factory. Question is, do the standard QPV exhausts have a valve in them that opens up under increased exhaust pressure or was that just the Sport GT's ? Thanks Jonny

    Wheel change - does the computer say no ?

    If you change up or down wheel size would it affect the computer wot controls stuff like that ? I'm thinking that if a car comes with a set rolling radius and it alters in a single incident (rather than gradual wear) would the computer throw a wobbly ? Similarly, if you put TPMS sensors on a...

    Clock resetting by itself ?

    In the last few weeks on a couple of occasions the clock on my QPV has suddenly decided to reset itself for no reason. It whizzes round and eventually stops at the correct time. Any thoughts ? Cheers Jonny

    Air con compressors - QPV

    My compressor has been diagnosed as having a faulty clutch and is off to the chaps at Autoshield tomorrow morning. Has anyone had any success with an equivalent part alternative to the Maserati part? I saw a thread previously where a couple of suppliers had something listed for a QPV, but...

    Towing eye needed QPV

    Unless it's hidden somewhere I haven't looked, I can't seem to locate my towing eye. Just been giving the boot a Hoover and noticed that there wasn't a natural space for jack, towing eye, wheel brace etc. I carry a torque wrench round anyway and have the compressor and gunk, but if something...

    Suppressor - surely not ?!

    I'm getting a whine through the entertainment unit which rises and falls with the revs. It's exactly the sort of whine I used to get back in the day when you had to fit an inline suppressor on the live wire. Surely that's not the case here ? Can't believe the unit wouldn't have inbuilt...

Wishbone bushes replaced both sides - it's not them, steering rack removed and checked over - it's not that, lower shock mount bushes changed - it's not them, ARB bushes replaced - it's not them, wishbone ball joints checked - it's not them, track...

    Rebuilding QPV shocks

    My persistent front suspension knock has been diagnosed as steering rack (or possibly shock absorber..) question is, are the shocks rebuildable on a 2005 QP ? I saw a thread on here that the 4200 Skyhook Bilstein shockers were, but not sure on the QPs. Greg at PCCCPPPCCP in Ireland is doing...

    Can any kind chaps enlighten me as to the charging process for a standard battery on a QPV. My christmas tree lights come on every morning after approx 5 miles and despite going in to the local specialist 3 times and spending a lot of money changing things, it's still happening. They have...

    Christmas tree lights - possible reason ?

    Struggling to find the reason behind my dash lighting up every morning after 5 miles or so. The SD3 reckoned it was an ABS sensor on the nearside wheel, however, changing that at great expense yielded the same error and that has now been firmly ruled out. One thing that does need doing...
