    Hi chaps, Just browsing a few of these ads and thought I’d put a wanted up for an indoor cover. I think I’d prefer OEM with logo etc but opted to other decent alternatives. Please let me know if you think you might have something suitable. Cheers Woody

    GS - Clutch Replacement - what sort of miles have people got from them?

    Hi all, I know this subject has been done to death but I’m keen to post this as I’ve just had my clutch replaced by McGrath Maserati - the work, as ever for me, being carried out by the wizard that is Paul Molyneux. Paul had mentioned to me that I’d need to get the clutch done as some point as...

    QP - DuoSelect on Autotrader - anyone know this car?

    Hi chaps, Been asked what I think of the above car for a friend of a friend who's interested. Does anyone know it (current owner on here?) or has anyone been to see it? Looks nice in the pics and reads well in the ad. Advert is: Metallic Black. Cream leather interior with black piping...

    Rear Brakes - How long.....

    Chaps, Through circumstance, I've had to get some work done on the GS at a garage other than my normal choice (usually use McGrath). I used these guys for my Merc and they're good. I'm having new discs, handbrake shoes and a handbrake cable fitted. I'm not a mechanical genius but from past...

    Urgent help needed: GS brakes stuck on!

    Chaps, Need some urgent help. Following on from my post a couple of weeks back when the GS lost drive and left me in the outside lane of the M1 (in crawling traffic), I thought I'd have a look at her today. I opened up the garage, fired her up all ok, no dash lights, selected a gear and it...

    GranSport - Lost drive, then re-gained

    Chaps, After a very near trouble free three years and something like 24k of motoring, the GranSport let me down on Friday night. I havent been using the car that much recently (same happened the last time I hadnt used it, it gave the the only other bit of trouble I've had!) but took it up the...

    GS Spyder

    Chaps, Not sure if this is already being spoken about elsewhere, but given rarity....dear at £38.5k but these do seem to hold their values. I would dearly love one of these. This one looks superb to me, given its 1 owner I suspect it had a good chance of being a nice one.... Rare soft top...

    GranCabrio - talk to me.....

    Hi chaps, As much as I would like this to be for me, its not. Yesterday, my brother in law mentioned he wanted to change his car, one car in contention is the GranCab. He's seen one at H R Owen which caught his eye and asked me what I thought. Now, I don't know much about GranCabs so...

    How do you work out "alternative parts"

    Hi Chaps, As per my post on the alternative parts thread, I'm trying to work out if there's an alternative part for the GS rear wheel sensor. Mine has packed up and while its a small wire, its actually attached to a bearing.....the cost of the part alone is the thick end of £400. Ouch. I...

    New Maserati Fan in the Woody House

    Hi all, Just thought I'd pop on and let you all know why I've not been around much recently. As many of you will know, my wife has been expecting our first born for some time (well, around 9 months, oddly). I'm very pleased to say that Baby Woody arrived last Friday morning, safe and well...

    The Importance of an 'Annual'

    I've often wondered whether the annual service on a Maserati is really that important, and whether it was really just a way for Maserati to ensure their service department got regular income. When I was looking for my GS, I was surprised quite how many were described as "FULL" service...

    GS rear seat 'filler'

    Hi chaps, I have a recollection that you can get proper seat 'fillers'for the rear seats of a GS, to fill in the bucket seat. Does anyone know what these are called and where you get them from? The ones I remember seeing were in the Britex fabric (tech cloth) but I would like to know if...

    MC Stradale....without a roof?

    So if you fancies an MC Strad, but wanted the wind in your hair, you wish has been granted.... Benny, gotta be your bag, this? The Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale, despite its harnesses and a lack of rear seats, was never quite the GT3 rival and hardcore flagship it appeared. It was...

    Warning: Mumsnet Content

    Chaps, As you may or may not know, MrsWoody is expecting to hatch later this year which we are both, naturally, over the moon about. Those of you who've been down this path will know, there's a lot to learn and a lot to worry about. Having been around babies/kids a fair bit (I have 10...

    4200/GS Windscreen Options

    Chaps, Some quick intel needed.... I've seen on here about getting a windscreen replaced but have been assured that Autoglass will do a porpoer job....I've been slightly comforted by them saying "we would prefer not to do that one on your drive". So....when I ordered the screen, I was...

    Cracking Maserati Plate

    If anyone is in the market, I think this is a cracking plate....coming up at the next DVLA auction. If I was coined, I'd have this on my GS....or ideally on a lovely late 4-2, manual to site besides my GS. Reserve is £1700 but I'd think it'll be £3-4k's worth....

    Another Giallo Maserati

    Where's Andy when you need him? Following on from the giallo GS, there's also a giallo QP for sale at the moment. http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/4181330.htm Not certain its the same one, but there cant be many about. If its the one I think, I believe it once (or still does) belonged to...
