Thx Catman, Raj did the clutch, flywheel and actuator and a few other bits recently, commenting on how it was a bit low on power, but we agreed I should run it for a while as it hadn;t been used in ages. It seemed to get better and power was pretty much restored, however, the miss is almost...

Hi, My car is misfiring at the moment, and not registering any codes at all. It had all the sparks replaced recently, oil is clean, lifters can be a bit tapety and it feels like it is retarding the ignition when putting your foot down at times, other times it fly's. I haven't checked...

Hi, Looking for F1 fluid for my 2002 Maserati CC, found a couple of posts referencing Dextron III ATF Synthetic as the fluid to use. I can get Comma ATF meeting Dexton III and Mercon, does the CC F1 fluid require any other, or should this be sufficient to replace the F1 fliuid?. Thx.

Thx :). So the gearbox light started coming on and it started to stick in gear. I could shift it to neutral, then back in gear and it seemed to be ok, but there was quite a smell from the rear. It went into a specialist, they dropped the gearbox on the subframe, the pump and relay was recent...

Hi, I just found out that my 52 plate Spyder with 54k miles on the clock has a gearbox that is shot. I have found a couple of spare gearboxes I can purchase to have fitted, however, I wondered if these gearboxes could be remanufactured or reconditioned. As far as I understand from...

Excellent, Took the car to The Wheel Specialists in Swansea yesterday, a 1 day "drop in" service. They completely stripped, sandblasted, repaired and painted the wheels, and you can choose the colour, plus it comes with a 12 month guarantee - sorted!. I dropped the Maser off at 8am and picked...

Just about to replace gasket on covers, had a quick look at r/h and wondered if u had any tips on removing those cover bolts, there's a couple of really tight access ones in the middle by the looks of it...thx

V nice.

Wheels being refurbished tomorrow I meant to say...Autocorrect!

Hi all, Car is a 2002 grey/silver Spyder, wheels being returned tomorrow, just not 100% ok which colour to go for. The wheels are the standard 18" multi spoke alloys, colour options include standard Maserati Silver, high power silver, Gloss Black, Anthracite, Shadow Chrome and just about...

Hi, Hopefully you have nailed it fir me there!. The car has Sat in a garage worth very little use for 2 years and the brakes needed a good clean, a service etc, these lights have been on intermittently, but usually a turn off and on of ignition sorts it for a little while. I drove back from...

Hi, Service manual mentions spark plug change at 50k and as I am replacing the rocker gaskets, I thought it's a good time to change the sparks as it's done 53k and they haven't been replaced. I looked up alternative plugs, seen a few posts for the Denso IU24's, then came across the NGK...

Thanks EnzoMC, I don't believe so. I'll try the reset first, then read the codes from the link - https://www.flickr.com/photos/catmanv2/11771427093/in/album-72157632035786271/. I can also get a local Aircon guy to run a test with dye for £35, so I'll see how it goes - thanks alot :)!.

Hmmm, it is a new car to me so maybe, but I have put new tyres on the rear and in the last couple of days the ASR and ABS / brake symbol has stayed on from when starting to turning off the engine and it's been running in this "engine power cut" mode. I can sometimes reset the lights by turning...

Thanks both, very helpful - could you also point me to the aircon reset procedure?....Thx :).
