    3200 feels like it’s locked in park....

    Evening chaps, Been a while since I’ve been on. Had the 3200 garaged and SORN for the past 18 months or so, for several reasons, but life has almost now settled to the point that I can give her some attention again. New battery and some fresh fuel and she’s fired up and idles flat; I’ve...

    Rear bumper 3200

    Afternoon, Just managed to rip off my rear bumper on the 3200Gt - the joys of one of those wholly pointless car killing security bollards that someone had put in their car parking space outside my office. Was only putting the car there for 30 minutes or so whilst workmen needed access to...

    3200 'bulb out' warning light.... but with no bulbs out?

    Afternoon all, The past week or so, I've noticed everytime I put my lights on, the 'bulb out' warning light comes on - this being one of the few things i thought, I may actually be able to fix.... but I've inspected the lights with a helpful girlfriend pressing the various nobs and buttons...

    Selinia 20k

    Evening all, Quick one- recently went to 'shop for parts' in Bradford- the closest place to me in Leeds to purchase Selenia oil for the 3200gt. Historically, I've bought 'Selenia 10w40 Racing Oil' when a top up is required, but they didn't appear to stock this anymore and suggested the only...

    3200 high level brake light bulb replacement

    Hi all, Noticed the other day that a couple of the small LED bulbs in the rear high level brake light have gone, leaving an annoying/uneven brake light which needless to say, is bothering me when I see reflections in the rear view mirror whilst in traffic. Done a bit of a search and see...

    Finally finished - thanks Autoshield!!

    Good afternoon all, It's been a 14 month project from the day I first set eyes on my 3200Gt and deciding I had to have her, to getting her finished with all the inevitable stresses and strains we come to expect with our Italian beauties, but I think worth every minute (and penny...) - I hope...

    Evening all, Just driven back to Leeds from Manchester on the delightful M62... a number of people were flashing me even though my lights were on.... or so i thought! Pulled over; front lights are fine, but I have no rear lights, no use of indicators, no use of fog lights/screen heater...

    Wheel catching on full lock (3200) & windscreen wiper failure

    Afternoon all, Have any of you 3200 owners had issues with the front wheels seemingly catching on something when at very low speed on full lock? Just sounds like a rubbing noise, whether its the tyre on the wheel arch or something else I'm not entirely sure, but a tad irritating all the...

    3200 CEL + limp mode when sat in traffic....

    Hi guys - I'm booked in to Autoshield on Friday but just wondered if anyone had any knowledge of common issues causing the 3200 to show a CEL when sat in heavy traffic, then to drop in to limp mode. It seems to rectify itself after a day or 2, but it's very irritating!! Have just had a new...

    High/wavering idle - 3200gt

    Morning all, Took the 3200gt out for a 'good run' on Saturday, and towards the end of the run (and now permanently since) the car seems to idle noticably higher than normal. Not by a lot, but where as normal idle sits just over the 1000rpm mark, it now seems to be much more like...

    3200Gt Auto 'RCY' light....

    Afternoon all, Just been out for a blast in the 3200gt (2001) and when slowing up to a junction, the engine cut out and the RCY dash light appeared - understand this is a fault with the auto box. Turned her off, key back to ignition and through the usual start up routine, turned her over and...

    Replacement of front trident badge 3200gt

    Evening all, Recently bought a new trident badge to fit on my 3200Gt (mounted to the grille surround); anyone any experience in doing this? Does the whole bumper need to be removed to get in to the under side screw to fix in the badge, or can it be accessed without? If the bumper has got...

    Any events ever held up t'north?

    Are there ever any owners club meets in the north of england or are they generally concentrated around the London area? When the car's finally back to her best, it would be good to meet a few of you guys if the chance permits! Otherwise, I'll have to try get myself darn Sarf sometime next...

    3200gt Oil

    Morning all - Just a quicky; as noted recently, I have just bought a 3200Gt. Will be completing an interim service over the next weekend or 2, but just wanted to pick your brains about the oil. Do you all only use the Selenia 10w60 as recommended in the handbook? I called JCT 600 Leeds...

    Newbie introduction :)

    Afternoon all, Thought it only right I post a brief introduction as I have spent several hours (of several days, of several months during 2011!) gaining irreplaceable knowledge from all the current forum posters and to do so without passing my thanks to all would feel a little like theft...
