    GTS engine catastrophe

    So sorry to hear this Sam. It sounds as though it is EXACTLY the same problem that killed my 3200 engine ten years ago! People told me back then that the engines were normally bullet proof and it must be a one off.... To be fair though, this is the only time I've ever read about anything...

    Quattroporte/QP 2009 Bose NIT Silverbox: Suspected HDD Failure

    Hello All, I have an 09 Bose NIT that just displays a blue screen (with a picture of a CD and a spanner on it...) I shall watch this closely and hopefully you'll be able to sort out a viable solution for all of us with problems with this system. Thank you!!

    2010 vs 2020 Photos

    Nice Cerbera! I had a '97 4.2 in Rosso Pearl for some years. In many ways it was the best car I've ever had. In many other ways it was also the worst - but I still loved it and think of it fondly!

    2010 vs 2020 Photos

    Some of you may have seen the Facebook Ten Year 'Challenge' thing doing the rounds if you use FB. (I'm not sure what is challenging about posting 2 pictures of yourself but whatever...) Anyway, lots of people have been posting photos of themselves from 2010 next to a photo of themselves in 2020...

    Number plates UK

    I've got short plates on the front and rear of my QP and personally I think they suit the car much better. They seem less intrusive. After all, Italian (and US) plates are tiny and I can't help but think that would have been a factor in the the design.... All fully legal

    Just asked my boy which car he wanted to go to town in. He replied: Let's go in the Range Rover. It's more subtle......

    Remembrance Day 2019

    Do what YOU feel like doing. Sometimes I go, sometimes I don't... I've had some amazing impromptu Sunday sessions after the ceremonies and sometimes I just don't want to be anywhere near it. Don't get me wrong, I think it's an absolute must that the ceremonies take place and I'm heartened to...

    Wiper Linkage

    OK, got the new (old) motor and linkage complete. I'm pretty sure it's LHD (obvs!) but the linkages are the same, so I took it off and fitted it to my car. Annoyingly I snapped a couple of bits off the cup when fitting it (it was extremely brittle) but that said it seemed to fit quite tightly...

    Brilliant, thank you. Any idea on how I measure a cup size? (ooh er missus!!!)

    Wiper Linkage

    Anyone? Please...... I got complacent with my bodged repair on Tuesday night and turned the wipers to max, and then they stopped working again, in torrential rain, in the third lane of the M25 - in the dark! Not pleasant I assure you! Today l fitted a similar clip from the Internet but I still...
