Good point, Looking at them I feel they have been sitting on a shelf most of their life rather than a tank.

New fuel pumps arrived first thing this morning.

Generally, for me E5 high-octane fuel sometimes I don't have an option! The pump mount that disintegrates should be removed and replaced with a pump sock-as almost every other car has, the plastic fuel lines that live in any petrol are going to be brittle silicon tubing might be an answer! After...

Hi Martin Long time no speak! (AC interior) if you're scratching your head! Fuel sender please I'm struggling to find one. I have 2 phone numbers on my phone for you 07841338344 or 07446888385 for some reason if either fit let me know Regards Gordon.

Hi Mart The tank is fine just filthy fortunately in good condition I'm drying it out at the moment and the crud is flaking of anything that's stubborn and comes off with a scouring pad lightly applied. My sender after spending 30 minutes carefully cleaning it after testing it doesn't work! so...

The whole assembly. From the photos, they look brand new, and should be here tomorrow. The tank came out far more easily than expected, I have worked out that letting the tank dry out makes cleaning the crud out there's plenty in there It flakes off and is easy to hoover up. The tank sender...

Just a quick note the AC version usually has a plaque denoting the number ie mine is 52/75 on the glove box next to the 3200gt logo!

100% correct as usual! Both are totally stuffed knackered pumps, mounts are mush pipes broke when removing them, so now taking the tank out to clean and fix the sender unit. I have sourced new pumps ie the whole units both look refurbished just need new seals for the pumps and the sender unit.

Thanks Will hopefully get on to this little! job next week.

The car has been sitting for probably the last year and a bit up to 6 months ago started regularly and run to working temperature then started being temperamental I put it down to being Italian and sulking as other cars were being used and enjoyed. So I think draining the tank and removing the...

The car is hopefully coming off SORN once I have got to the bottom of why it's refusing to start! Initially, the car fires up for a split second and then stop my initial thought was lack of fuel even though the fuel gage registers a quarter of a tank so added some more (20ltrs) still, nothing I...

Dan is playing with airplanes rather than Maseratis as far as i know! which is a real shame for me being in Devon and miles away from any specialists garage.

Yes that's true of any high performance vehicle, what i was trying to say was that consumables/parts are cheap compared to the Mas.

My 11 plate cayenne turbo servicing will be just over £500 (main dealer) and 20k service intervals, bit of a revelation. After sorting out the Assetto corsa over the last few years it makes a pleasant change to find a reasonably priced car. i guess having a glorified VW dose have its benefits.

Well I have just come over Dartmoor winter tires on the van, it is blowing a blizzard lots of stranded cars and lorys a few in the hedge but I fear it will all be gone midday tomorrow replaced with rain, short-lived but great fun.
