    Gransport doesn't want to move!

    Thanks P. I have indeed located the oil leak to that component. Any idea how much that is likely to cost me to get done at my indy? I might have a go at it myself. Rich

    Gransport doesn't want to move!

    Have still yet to decide on what to do but I've got Gary's no. in front of me! Yes, it's on those blocks of wood! The squeaky steering wheel has been traced to a leek somewhere around and oil cooler. Will top up with oil to do some further investigation today and decide what steps to take...

    Maseratis - Spotted

    Spotted a Red 3200, RL51 coming out from the Grand Arcade in Cambridge, yesterday. I think I may have also seen the same car at Grimaldi Engineering a couple of weeks before. Also a Blue 4200 going up the Gog Magog Hill in Cambridge last week.

    Gransport doesn't want to move!

    Hi Guys, Started washing my Gransport last Sunday in preparation for a nice journey up to Lincolnshire. After I'd washed it, it started snowing so I reversed her back into the garage and did not use the car all week, I stupidly and uncharacteristically pulled up the handbrake. Got in to...

    My New Gransport

    No it wasn't thankfully Loz! The gate post was taken out by my old man in his Merc CL, that taught him not to use the phone whilst driving (or at least work out how to connect the bluetooth!). Yep its TDF (Tour de France) Blue. Makes a nice change from your standard Rosso Crema imo...

    My New Gransport

    Hi Guys, I originally posted on here about 6 months ago, asking for some advice on a Gransport. I eventually bought an SL55. Well here we are 6 months later and I have just purchased an 08 Gransport in Grigio Alfieri. What a car! Compared to the SL, the power is down slightly, and that is...

    Gransport Info? Also compared to SL55?

    Thanks for the advice. But don't worry, I plan on taking all the essential precautions before I decide to buy my next car. A meet would have been great but work beckons tomorrow. I know Halstead well though. I'm not too far away over in Saffron Walden.

    Gransport Info? Also compared to SL55?

    Wow... What a response, you certainly are an accommodating lot. Thanks so much for the responses. It's quite evident that you all adore your Maserati's! I have actually had my eye half on the market for a year or so and noticed a Blu Med Gransport has been up for quite some time now on...
