    That's it then CatmanV2 I am now disavowed of the notion of crud or water in the fuel - which is surely the purpose of this (superb!) forum - highly useful advice from the experienced and wise. Nice one. I have let it go.

    Hi Zep first sorry for late response - firefighting. Yes my Maserati garage stated on their post purchase inspection report in the context of losing response to the accelerator when driving about town: “There we’re no faults recorded on the engine ECU.” It happened again yesterday I was doing...

    New Grancabrio owner in Herts has 2 big problems

    Hi new member here with 2 problems - all suggestions gratefully received thank you. Purchased a 2011 Grancabrio here in the UK with very low mileage - 11,000 miles. One previous lady owner who in some years did less than 500 miles in total and in one year did no mileage at all - so a lot of...
