For a competent garage in Bedford I'd suggest Enterprise Motors on Dean St. They've been around for many many years. I've been getting my MOTs done there since 1986 (even though I live in Huntingdon now) because they do a thorough but honest job.

I think the GT may be similar to the QP, in which case you might find this useful: https://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php?threads/new-aircon-fan.27224/#post-650468 Scroll down to post #4. Problem was similar to yours, just stopped working one (hot!) day. As metioned in the post the...

I did mine with one of these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sealey-VS820-Clutch-Bleeding-System/dp/B000ROARTI Much easier than pedal pumping and therefore no risk to the master cylinder seals. You could do the job on your own with one one these but I had a helper watching the fluid level just in case.

I think you'll need to get the rear shelf out. Have a look here for a good how-to: https://www.maseratilife.com/forums/qp5-2003-2012/49505-2009-qp-seat-removal.html Scroll down to post #10.

flat-12...I used silicon dielectric grease. Check the link in my first post.

That's exactly what mine did. Applying the grease to the glass runs fixed it.

'Sounds like what happened to mine (QPV rear door). It's a bowden cable system that goes through a plastic scroll on the motor. The cables are secured to the mechanism with plastic clips that are a known weak point. One of the clips gives way and then the scroll lunches itself on the cable if...

Forgot to say, in the 19th picture you can see the crank sensor under the oil pressure sender.

You'll probably need to remove the plunum. Have a look at this thread: https://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php?threads/4200-oil-pressure-sender-removal.7556/
