    4.7 Oval exhausts on 4.2

    Hi all Whilst I like the X pipe, I'm looking to get a bit more volume, so have started to look at the over system, there's a few on eBay, would the back boxes increase the sound? Also, how easy would it be to get the valves system going? Many thanks James

    Heater blowing too hot

    Hi all, I took the GT out for a drive today, as I've not been out in it for a while. Even with the temperature set quite low on the climate control, it was still blowing very hot air out of the vents, and on to my feet. Setting it to 'Lo' turns the blower up, but still quite warm air...

    Worrying sound on cold start

    Hi all, Ive noticed, now the weathers colder, when doing a cold start, theres a worrying sound coming from the engine bay, it only lasts for a few seconds, ten settles into a smooth idle. It doesn't do it when warm either, Ive recorded a short clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1tj2Lr0A5s...

    Wheel Spacers

    Hi all, Whilst I'm loving the GT, I'm starting to think the wheels look hidden in the arches. Ive read about wheel spacers, do they affect the handling at all / are they safe? James.

    Door opening

    Hi all The GT seems to have gone all Italian on me. When I try to open the passenger door, the electric opener solenoid doesn't seem to function, but the manual door catch seems to work fine. Luckily the drivers door seems to work ok. Just wondering what could be wrong, James

    GT handling

    Hi all I've started to notice, that on bumpy surfaces, or pot holes, the rear of the GT seems to skip or move around slightly, quite an odd feeling. It's less noticeable when the suspension is in ‘sport' The cars been to Migliori for a checkup, and they said the suspension was fine. It's...

    Detailed Granturismo

    Hi all, I recently devoted some of the day to giving the Granturismo a good clean and polish, I was amazed at the quality of the paint!, love seeing the metallic in the sun. Shame it doesn't look as good now after some rein :( Seeing how good it looked reminded me why I bought a...

    X pipe

    Hi all Been loving the GT so far, the only thing is, because it’s so well insulated, it’s tridky to hear the exhaust, even with the windows open. I do love the sound it makes, and the tone/howl at high revs, I’m just looking for something with a bit more volume, not to change the character or...
