Thanks Loz, eurospares do them for £20 used which is a bargain. Just wondering if i need to hunt down an actuator whilst i'm at it. I'll get the spring and see what happens i think

Ive been having a poke around under my 3200 today and noticed half a coil has snapped off the bottom of the drivers front coil spring. Would this be the cause of my dash error light or is it more likely to be a faulty actuator? thanks ...leigh

oops, didnt see the link, cheers Matt. This could well be my problem. My pads were stuck fast and i did have to remove all 4 calipers to remove the pads. I also needed to grind the new pads in to make them fit. I put this down to the cheap pads i fitted to get me through my MOT. At least i plan...

what is plate lift??

ill do that now

im scared to remove the backboxes as one in particular is very rusty. The only thing putting me off with the RPI pipes is the single exit. I love the look of the 4 tailpipes

Has anyone tried the rpi straight through rear pipes on the 3200? I noticed my backboxes were looking a little worse for wear when it was up on the ramps today and thought this may be an economic solution?

i used bosch wipers from dbay for around a tenner and they are great although i did notice on eurospares that the maserati ones were only around £17 after i bought them

Also, where is the vaccuum source for the servo taken from? I followed the main vac line from the servo and it runs along the bulkhead of the car into a non return valve and into the passenger side airfilter housing?? Surely there isnt enough of a vac source here????

Need a bit of advice here. Brakes have never been great on my 3200 since ive owned it. Ive had it off the road for the past 6 months and am getting it ready for its MOT tomorrow. Put new pads in today all round and changed brake fluid and all bled through. Brakes are still very bad. I really...

How much will that cost Bill and are you UK based?

Been getting my car sorted out for its MOT today and was looking at the shocks. They have a height adjustable spring seat and are bilsteins. Do these sound like they are standard shocks? They still have the ferrari actuators on top Leigh

i thought the only difference in the bonnet was the vents? i just assumed they would be interchangeable. i have parked next to a 4200 and to my eye, they didnt look too dissimilar at all

if i have to buy new, of course i will. Im all for members helping one another out. I reckon with my mate doing the MOT and a bit of adjustment i might just be able to hang on for the set already in circulation though. if i have time, i'll have a quick look tomorrow

well the one down the breakers will fit nicely in my toolbox :) Its worth grabbing it just in case
