    Bizzare turn signal fault ghibli

    The front bumper needs to come off to remove the headlight, this is a bit of a job. The DRL goes off when the indicator comes on depending on headlights being on or off.

    Idle dropping

    No click from me, almost like you’ve instantly dropped it into the wrong gear, other times just a bit of kangaroo petrol.

    Idle dropping

    I sometimes get this, not on a cold start, but a minute or so after. Sometimes on a hot start, rarely mid run, I’ll have a look and try the brake clean test. Seems like a misfire, but none detected and no codes, so an air leak makes sense.

    Oil grade for 2015 petrol ghibli

    Mine is a late 2017, new screen, but not new gearstick, and the higher output, manual still states 5w40, I do oil every 6000 myself, in between a specialist doing it every 12,000.

    Oil grade for 2015 petrol ghibli

    I’ve been using Shell Ultra 5W 40 mainly as it’s occasionally cheaper than HX8. The messing with oil grades seems to be an American thing.

    Wheel alignment?

    Yes, they all do that, it was much worse for me on P Zero than PS4S

    Can you change the bulbs in Levante front centre interior 'readers light'

    You can in the Ghibli, pull the whole assembly down, not just the middle shiny bit and there are 3 lamp holders on the back of the PCB. Not sure what lamp though.

    New Maserati Levante owner - few questions

    try turning the dash dimmer next to the lightswitch down, fully up causes this and also some of the interior lights to stay on. Mine is quite slow to respond to light conditions though.

    MC20 Personal Views

    Parks (main dealer) have a blue one listed at £153k on 11,000 miles, surely in reach at under £150k as well, which was the first to draw my attention to the tumbling values.

    Ghibli summer tyre recommendations

    PS4S compared to the PZero (20”) Don’t skip as bad in the cold on lock Quieter Lasting longer 95% of the dry grip Far better in the damp/cold little difference in summer heavy rain. PS4S drawbacks? The only tyre my local fitter has not recommended repairing, sidewalls are apparently super thin...

    HR Owen service pricing

    On the Joe Macari thing, I think they’re running down their Maserati stock on EBay, were the cheapest OR parts when I was buying a few weeks ago.

    Gas seems to be going way too fast in 19 gransport

    It produces less power, has a lower rolling resistance and less drag, also according to fully it’s barely any different!

    Best battery

    I think it’s just to tell the car that it’s a new battery and confirm the spec so it gets charged properly. I thought the Ghibli might be the same and was going to see if my autel could do it

    Gas seems to be going way too fast in 19 gransport

    You can configure what it shows, mine is set to range and both average and instant mpg, they fluctuate, only see 40mpg downhill or coasting. at the end of a journey, it displays the distance and average mpg for the journey itself.

    Best battery

    Indeed, stop/start for me has, well, stopped and in the cold weather when left for a few days its a slow crank, been looking at an EFB, about £120 for a Benzina, AGM is £220 plus.
