Hello Forum I need some advice regarding the timing chain on my 2005 4200. The car has 96,000 miles on the clock. I've owned it for over 13 years now. My garage reported that the engine is making more noise than it should from the timing chain mechanism and have recommended replacing the...

Hi Forum I've had my 4200 for over 12 years and have clocked up just over 90,000 miles. I plan to keep the car and would like the forum's thoughts on potential wear-and-tear items that should be investigated: replaced. I'm concerned about the timing chain on the 4200 as I had one go on my...

Hi Forum Has anyone ever replaced the indicator bulbs on a 4200? Mine have faced from yellow to white and are possibly an MOT failure. I've been quoted £99.00+ Vat to replace, which seems crazy for two bulbs!!

I have a potential issue with the gearbox or F1 Pump on my 2005 4200. I drove the car the other day and all was fine, until the gearbox red warning light came on briefly and then went out again. I continued driving the car and parked it in a supermarket carpark for an hour. When I...

Hi Forum I have a problem with my 2005 4200. When taking off from a standing start, there is a noticeable delay in the car accelerating. The car revs very high, but takes ages to get going. I thought it might be the clutch, so had that checked at last service. It's at 38% wear...

Hi Forum The airbag and child seat warning light have come on in my 2005 4200. Given the mileage, I believe this could be a known airbag switch issue. Does anyone know of a friendly garage near Clapham SW4 who can provide the readout from the ECU using a diagnostic tool to see the error...

Hi Forum Does anyone know where I can purchase two rear track adjuster rose joint bushes for a 2005 Maserati 4200? I tried Eurospares, but they only supply the total component as opposed to individual elements (see the attached image)

The Airbag and Child Seat Warning lights have just come on on my 2005 4200. I've read a few posts about the issue potentially being with the airbag deactivation switch on the passsenger side. Car has 70K on clock and from reading the posts, now is about the right time for the issue to appear...

Hi Forum Was out driving earlier when the red gear box warning light came on. I decided to continue driving to make it home, but was only able to select first and second. When changing from first to second, the change seems very laboured. Nothing happens when I try to select third. I...

Hi Forum I've decided to start getting my hands dirty by getting to know my car. For my first project I'm going to change the air filter and change the oil. I plan to use a trolley jack and place the car on axle stands. Where is the best place to locate the trolley jack under the car...

Hi Forum On the drive home earlier I noticed the coolant temperature gauge moving off of the central reading it usually displays. It stopped between 90 and 130. The red warning light came on briefly, but then went out again. This happened a few times on the short (less than 3 miles)...

Hi Forum Has anyone tried the new Falken FK453 tyres? I used the 452s previously on the rears and felt the handling, performance and wear rate was a tad better than the Pirellis. I had two instances of the side wall bubbling problem on the front Pirellis, so have decided to replace all...

Hi I performed a throttle reset on my 4200 a few weeks ago and since then my Loudlink has stopped working. I can read the SD card from a PC and I can see the tracks located in the various folders. When I power the unit on, a red light comes on briefly and then goes out. When I select source...

Hi Forum I just noticed a build up of liquid in the passenger footwell on my 2005 4200. It doesn't feel like what water. Seems to clear and thick in density. Any suggestions as to what this might be leaking from. I'm assuming it AC related??

Hi forum Recently I've noticed a slight loss of power when accelerating. I tried planting my foot on the accelerator and I don't get the same acceleration I used to. It's ever so slight and hard to notice, but I can feel there is definitely a slight loss of acceleration / power. Any clues...

Does anyone know of a good and reasonably priced Maserati garage in the SW London area please? Historically I've used Lancaster Maserati Colchester, but I have two reasons for exploring alternative options :- 1. I think their servicing costs are a tad overpriced, when compared to other...
