    Misfiring on cylinders 1,2,3 and 4

    morning guys - my 4200 is in a sad state - the wife had to be recovered last night by the AA - thats a sad sight - the Maserati on an AA flat bed. Anyway, they ran a quick diagnostic and ended up saying misfires on cylinders 1,2,3 and 4! All in one bank I assume? Any thoughts? I am...

    pesky electrics in 4200 cambriocorsa

    Hi - the passenger seat doesnt move - not even a twitch - the heated seats work though. its difficult to say, but there appears to be something like a small mother board hanging down from the seat - like I say, its set at its lowest setting and as far back as it will go. the good news - after...

    pesky electrics in 4200 cambriocorsa

    I have been out and about most of the afternoon, so I haven't had much time. BUT, I have had a quick look at the drain pipe - and sure enough it was full of water and (lets be polite) gunk - BUT it also had a piece of pipe - around 15mm wide and two inches long in the rubber bung that i removed...

    pesky electrics in 4200 cambriocorsa

    New to me- but got common questions

    Haha If I stick a Tom tom on it won't I lose use of radio etc? Oh- is it even worth thinking about trying to use the phone????? In terms of the lights, they can't be turned on by pushing the buttons on the light. Basically if I need light I have to open the doors - not ideal in this weather...

    New to me- but got common questions

    Just treated myself to a 2003 cambriocorsa and already spotting some common threads . We'd a sat Nav CD! Clock isn't lit up at night, interior lights don't work, yet they do when door is open and I'm struggling to get seating position memorised. HELP! Pretty sure that you'll all chortle at...
