    Maserati owners list.....please add your Maserati!

    Hi, I added my 4200 coupe about 4 years ago when I bought it, but it seems to have dropped out of the list since then. Appreciate if you can add it back in -userid 'Claymore'. Thanks v.much, Alan

    GS battery change

    The Bosch S4 in my 4200 was fitted in 2014 and has survived until now, having been on a continuous Ctek charger for the last 4 years, but recently has been showing that it cannot maintain a strong enough charge when left off the charger. I fitted a replacement Bosch S5008 over the weekend to...

    GTECHNIQ UPDATE

    Slight thread drift here, as its not about GTECHNIQ, but another product Ceramic Pro 9H. Having done some research on this, I initially tried to apply a coating myself (not one of these two products) after doing the standard steps of iron out decontamination, clay barring, machine polishing etc...

    I got a replacement for my QPV! A well known 4200CC on the forum...

    The car looks great and it was exactly this colour combo that persuaded me to blow the budget 4 years ago and purchase a low mileage 4200 CC. This is my facelift model (2007) in Sebring Blue with light grey leather interior. I’ve been really pleased with the reliability (tempting fate here!) and...

    Need to replace my front speakers

    This is what I suggested (on a related thread about the door speakers : 4200 Sound Upgrade from stock (non-auditorium)) as an easy replacement - "The thought of dismantling the centre console, rear seats and shelf, plus door cards to install a 'total' sound system made me feel a bit faint...

    Headlamp seals?

    I have a genuine Maserati headlamp seal, no longer required. Note it's for the L/H, passenger, side only. PM me if interested.

    F1 Pump Relay

    One option is to replace it with a solid state unit, check out the reports by searching for this thread “F1 PUMP RELAY SOLUTION”. More expensive than a standard relay, but more robust.

    Dinitrol, Mercasol or Waxoyl

    Decided to give the 4200 an underbody treatment, as it looks to have been garaged all of its life and this would be a way of (hopefully!) ensuring that it doesn't start deteriorating, though I plan to keep it off the road throughout the winter anyway. After checking out the options, I selected...

    4200 Sound Upgrade from stock (non-auditorium)

    The thought of dismantling the centre console, rear seats and shelf, plus door cards to install a 'total' sound system made me feel a bit faint. So I've gone for the minimum possible upgrade that seems to offer the most benefit. Agreed, the front door speakers are very poor quality, so it was...

    4200/GS alternative space saver from a Mercedes SL R230

    Great info here, which has led me to go down the same route as Mike (see all the info in his first message of this post). I ordered the space saver used by the Mercedes SLR230, p/n A2304010602, plus the special hub adapter, again from TT Tools. The pair of adapters was still £156, but the wheel...

    4200/GS alternative space saver from a Mercedes SL R230

    Lot of impressive investigation and work done here, all very useful.There may be a number of people who would prefer to have a usable spare option, rather than rely on the dubious emergency inflation kits. Would you mind summarising all the parts needed, rim, adapter, tyre, bolts etc, with full...
