Reviving an old thread here... Seems I'm in the market for a new control unit. Does anyone have any tip on where to look? Found one in France on eBay, but a bit pricey at €1,500.

No real luck in finding any alternative part, would you be able to provide some kind of pointer please?

Turns out it's the slave cylinder that tendered its resignation. Am I correct that 388200104 is the correct part number for this?

By the way (not sure whether it adds anything to the discussion), the error code that shows up is "P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor" or something similar.

I've not noticed any fluid loss, though I've yet to take a peek under the bonnet once the car was towed to the office. Will attempt to do it during lunch break though... Cheers for the tip!

Been trying over the summer to sort some issues with the car, mainly concerned with the pedal potentiometer. Now that all issues, bar the climate control, seemed to be resolved, I figured I'd take the car to work before tucking it away into winter hibernation. After refuelling I accelerated...

Thanks for all of the replies. If that high rpm is the factory setting for idling then I guess there's nothing much to be done. At cold start I see 1,000-1,100 rpm idle, with engine warm or hot it's usually about 950 rpm. It just seemed a bit high to me (e.g. my BMW/Alpina B10 V8 would idle at...

Greetings to the board, Is there any way to adjust the idle beyond making adjustments to the pedal potentiometer? Car usually sees 1,000-1,100 rpm at idle, which I'd say is a bit high for a V8 (although a small volume one at only 3.2 liters). The cas already has both the contactless...

Greetings to the board, I've started to experience clutch slippage (revs rising but speed not increasing, especially on higher gears), and so I bought the 3-piece kit from Maserati Shed. Looks like top notch stuff! Now for my questions, could I expect any kind of workshop to solve the clutch...

I had the car in for service and they managed to establish that it's the passenger side front one that's acting up (me being Swedish my car is a LHD). The error message was that it's stuck. Fortunately this one is by far the easiest one to get to, so I got it loose and checked it. The gear...

Yeah, been doing some driving over the last few weeks (at least several times a week), but it keeps lighting up intermittently. I've been able to ascertain that the two front ones at least seems to be performing the startup-check when turning on the ignition, but how do I get to the rear ones?

Greetings, I'd appreciate some assistance on this one. During the last trip before putting the car into winter hibernation last year the ERROR light in the dashboard suddenly lit up. Didn't think about it too much about it at the time since the car was anyhow being put away for a while. Once I...

Here's another who would be very interested to know about the possibility to add a paddle shift system to my auto. Found these while browsing the web, but perhaps there are other, proven kits out there: Geartronics Paddleshift Mastershift

I have a mate that may be interested after he got to hear the Quicksilvers on my new motor, if you'd be willing to ship to Sweden that is (a bit too far for a pickup).

Once again, cheers to the board! Just got back to the car and the work of changing the cam belt continues. I'm now at that phase where I have just one more thing to disassemble - the water pump. All the bolts are done away with, but it still seems dead stuck. My initial thought was to find a...
