Disregard

I was trying to do some research before I bought one of these to find people's experience on forums but didnt seem much has been posted about these. Where I park I don't have access to power to trickle charge it and I don't use the car often so risk the battery draining. So I decided to buy one...

Hi, i just went to check on the car as its been sitting outside for a month (travesty I know!). However on start up I got a warning flash up 'parking brake failure, see dealer'. I tried to set off and indeed the brakes were jammed on tight and car wouldn't budge. I tried the EPB lever several...

I was stuck in London traffic for best part of an hour yesterday but as it started to end and open out, I started to speed up from a crawl (gentle acceleration) only to be met with an extremely violent jerking motion and rapid revving for about 5 seconds. It was a little scary and worrying that...

what a day to forget. we were driving back on the A4 tonight and a merc pulls up next to me at the lights and indicate they want to race. I ignore them and carry on at my own (slower) pace. the driver subsequently slows down, rolls his window down and gives me the w@nker sign. showing off to...

hi- we are planning a trip to the seaside over the long weekend and wondering if any good beaches, but more importantly, any good, fast, twisty roads that you can recommend to get down there to ideally avoid motorways. I live in South East London so East Sussex is probably quicker/easier for me...

given that the servicing is every 2 years on these, I am just wondering if there are any items that should be checked by ourselves at least annually. for example, are they prone to needing a top up on engine oil given the big V8, etc? bearing in mind I am not mechanically minded at all! what do...

Was looking for inspiration online after Adam (Felonious Crud) has given me the bug with his cool light tinting and gorgeous stripe! Just seeing what would potentially look good on a white car to complement carbon pack and black wheels, just subtle mods. Suggestions welcome! Not so sure...

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to DIY. Just wondering if this is easy to do, and if so, how do I go about doing this?! I want to connect a solar panel to the battery to trickle charge it so it doesn't drain on me. I park in a multi-storey so there is no mains supply, just access to some...

Anyone organising or know of any for us Southerners this summer? Seems all the fun to be had is up North! Would love to join one closer to London before the sun leaves us for good and rain doesn't stop. I know these events tend to be kept secret sometimes...

The manual suggests that you can open the luggage compartment while the car is locked and the alarm is activated. Apparently it will deactivate if you open and reactivate once you close it again. I am finding that this is not the case and I am triggering the alarm when I try! Any ideas on how to...

I went for a drive today and came back to find that one of the washer covers under the headlight was missing leaving an unsightly hole on the bumper! I'm assuming others have had this issue. Is it easy/cheap to buy a replacement that is colour matched, and if so, are there any links to order...

hi- since buying the car a few weeks ago I got it checked out by an independent. It turns out that I have a leaky gasket on the cam cover. It is still in the early stages but obviously my concern is that it will inevitably get worse over time and need replacing which will be costly not to...

I live in SE1 and a lot of shops (such as Posh Wash) are based in the West End, which is a pain to get to in traffic. Can anyone recommend a place nearby London Bridge? I used to go to the place on Druid street (under the arches, off Tower Bridge road) for my old car, but for the new one I...

I'm sure there is a thread on here somewhere but can't find it! There is a lot of debate online on supermarket petrol versus branded products. However, I'm just wondering what Maserati owner's experiences are on this, particularly on Tesco's Momentum 99 versus Shell's V Power. I used to...

Hi- I'm new to the forum and soon to be a first time owner so any advice/tips are much appreciated...will be part exchanging my Lotus Exige S for a Maserati GranTurismo S - I cannot wait! :)
