    Classic car auction 19th June blue 4200

    That's the same colour combo as mine. I think its the best but I'm slightly biased. If you don't go for that mines going up for sale. 65K miles, needs some body paint TLC, but has a full main dealer service history.

    Rear Parcel Shelf removal

    This is an extremely useful thread. I have used it to access the fuel cap cover release solenoid. Sadly still more to remove, the plastic quarter light trim need to be removed to get to the bolt holding it in place. I'd say this is one of those jobs that takes an hour or so stripping out for a...

    Should I buy a warranty...?

    I have a 2004, 4200, 64,000 miles. I took out a lifetime warranty when I purchased the car 10 years ago(sadly no longer available). It allows me £1000 towards covered repairs. Doesn't go very far, but helps. Here are a few of the issues I have encountered: Replacement of reverse gear...

    2017 Events

    I attended the Blenheim Palace Festival of speed over the August Bank holiday. Good turnout of cars and lots of people. In addition to the individual cars on show there were quite a few clubs, TVR being one of the biggest with about 20. No Maserati's though, so perhaps an opportunity for a...

    Larini cats on a 4200

    I need to replace both cats on my 4200. Because of the Maserati OEM price I'm looking at a set of Larini cats. Does anyone have them fitted and can let me know how loud they are in comparison to the originals. Not looking to scare the neighbours so hoping for a subtle increase in tone.

    Anyone know this high mileage 4200 for sale on e-bay?

    Bit of an eyesight issue there seeing 7's instead of 9's, a good buy at that price if the actual condition is as good as the write up, not sure but i think i've seen that bidder a few times going for Maserati's on ebay so i wonder if it will come back on as a sale on pistonheads in a few weeks...

    4200 back seat removal

    I got great advice on how to get at the 3rd brake light by removing the parcel shelf. Now I want to get the back seats out and give the leather a good clean. Is this easy?

    CC Box: Dropping into Neutral and out whilst moving?

    This is a link posted on a previous thread (not my find) to a cambiocorsa promo video. It talks about being in neutral and sport mode use. Being new to paddle shift I found it an interesting watch, particularly driving in auto and still using the paddles to downshift for overtaking...

    Face lift 4200 at ADG

    Sorry about that, if we didn't have differing tastes the world would be a boring place. :-) You'd have expected the dealer to have given them a clean. If they can't be bothered with a simple thing like that what hope for an oil leak or mechanical problem. To me it's all about presentation....

    Pics from todays classic car show.

    Seeing the Escort RS turbo brought back fond memories, bought a new one in 86 for £8500 as an end of line runout. I had it for 9 years, stollen twice! Second time was from the office car park and never saw it again. Cheeky sods even got the security guards to raise the car park barrier. When I...

    removal of the 3rd stop light lens on a 4200

    I have some dirt in front of the lens so want to remove it. The hanbook recommends taking it to the dealer:tomato6: Not going to do that, so can anyone let me know how to do it? thanks, Tal
