    Clutch wear claims from Selling (independent) dealership

    I’ve previously owned 4200 gt manual which is a great car in its own right but the Quattroporte feels so much more planted to the road & just as quick for such a big heavy car.

    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    I’ve had the ABS/ASR Lights come on mine twice recently but on both occasions when I got out of the car all 3 brake lights were still on (ignition off & key out) I’m thinking brake switch sticking & wondering if these two scenarios are connected?

    GT drain locations

    I managed to get my hand to the passenger side drain vent on mine & it was full of crud, however this was in the summer time so was dry (Drivers side clear) after a bit of squeezing it all fell out but I'm guessing a bit trickier if wet.
