    Tyre pressures?

    I run at 10% over spec on the fronts and you can easily go to +20% all round. I find this helps with the cornering performance on the standard 3200 with 18 inch wheels, which is not great, but any higher becomes harsh and noisy - personal preference though!.

    Digital Radio

    A pure highway costs peanuts and gives good results if well installed. You can also put it in your pocket and use it with headphones when you reach your destination.

    whats your mileage??

    I agree with Steve, 6 months off the road has done no harm - if your garage is dry. In fact it gives you the time to do some serious preventative maintenance and address all those niggles and nice to fix issues. I just fire it up once a month and move it up and down the drive a few times. It...

    whats your mileage??

    I'm pleased you guys can enjoy your cars year round. I live in the back of beyond and the roads become undriveable for the 3200 over the winter so it has to hibernate.

    Gransport versus 3200GT

    Yep, same running costs as a F355 but at a fraction of the initial purchase price. The fact is that if the going rate for a 3200 was £40K most people would not baulk at the running costs. BUT if you look at the prices of 3200's outside of the UK you start to see that it is the Brits that have...

    Gransport versus 3200GT

    For me the 3200 is the last real Maserati and the last true manual - but certainly not the best all round drive. When it gets to a point that the yearly service/maintenance costs ourstrip the cars value it will probably be time to move on to another marque, none of the later coupe models float...

    In car DAB Digital radio

    I use a Pure Highway add on unit on my 5 series - don't listen to music in the 3200 as it detracts from the engine note which I never get bored of! It also doubles up as a portable system. Quality is good and with a built in system like mine upgrading the head unit is not an option - just make...

    3200 oil change HELP

    Was this through Eurospares? Main stealers or you local indy should have stock of service items like that. I have found Eurospares do not have a comprehensive stock and take some weeks to source some parts. Emblem have helped me out by optaining parts from their sources on my behalf, generally...

    GranSport Oil Pressure & friday

    Looks like the same issue as my 3200 - full speed only, you would have thought they would have dealt with that after 2 car generations!

    Maserati 3200 Owners Manual

    I have had a pdf copy for some time and shared some information via PM if you know what I mean. I had it in jpeg form so it was simple to convert to .pdf. Scanning all that paper? Stop for gods sake and PM me!

    Hissing 3200

    Check your secondary air system, the pipe runs behind the radiator and there is a join behind the RH fan.

    Who went from 3200GT to 4200GT/Gransport?

    3200 to 4200? I think my comment would be - why? Both cars are so different if you like one, the other would probably be a let down - unless you chose the wrong one in the first place! 3200 to GanSport I can relate to but the only thing that will stop me buying another Maserati is the lack of...

    Tyres, bald on inner edges

    Yep. Dorchester, Dorset it is. 3 Maserati's in the backwater that is Dorchester, we can almost fill a Dorset Car Park! I'll PM you both when I'm back from holls and my knock sensors have been replaced.

    Tyres, bald on inner edges

    A nice example. Mine is also with Emblem, almost the same colour combination but not the AC - picking it up today so there will be two happy 3200 owners tearing up the south coast this weekend!

    Tyres, bald on inner edges

    Matt, I understand your dilemma, it is a fair bit further to Emblem. My only point of caution would be - what if some of your adjusters are seized or the problem is down to more than geometry? Would you want your car at Meridian or Emblem? But then I'm lucky enough to be 30 mins away from...

    Tyres, bald on inner edges

    Gary, is that your AC that has been sat at Emblem for the last week or so?

    Tyres, bald on inner edges

    Matt, You definitely need an Indy who also has access to an alignment specialist. The only way around it is buy all the shims you could need and return the ones you don't. That is why I went the same route as Gary, as Emblem keep a full set of shims for the use of their preferred aligner...

    Ben Fatto Emblem!!!!!!!

    Without wishing to butt in - the clutch pedal bush is a **** design. Mine has been changed by a previous owner, but started to squeak about a year ago and continues to do so. It's a ***** of a job to change what is a low value item and Emblem had no issue with me putting up with it until it...
