I noticed a small drop of oil on the garage floor when I parked up tonight ( I was checking for water leaks after my recent expansion tank replacement saga ). It would appear to be from the region of the front pulley, is this a common occurrence? I plan an oil change and was going to enquiry...

I’ve had a great deal of bother trying to source an expansion tank for my 4200, 2005. I’m told Maserati no longer manufacture the RHD item ( I don’t know if this apply for LHD). Eurospares were initially able to supply a used unit for 22GBP but discovered it was LHD and were looking to source a...

I’ve finally got around to removing the glove box to gain access to the fuel cap and boot catches. The last few months I’d opened the fuel gap through the boot and used the emergency “rip cord” When the lever is pulled the black plastic component does not move to open the glove box. Does anybody...

Pulled up at the busy servo this morning to fill up only to find I couldn't open the glove box to pop the fuel cap! I had to drive away and park up to find the release mechanism from inside the boot, (I expected to find something more substantial than a piece of string) but a crisis was...

Driving into the garage yesterday afternoon and and pulled on the stalk to dip the headlights to see how close I was to the wall, no lights! Switched on the lights as an automated response, still nothing, car running fine, parked, stopped the car turned it off got out and walked away. As I was...

Picked up the car last night from my local indie, a few minor things to sort out, but early days. I'm very happy to have the car back in the stable. It's an episode a lot of owners fear encountering, I went through all the scenarios too, sell the car, get something less high profile so that...

Air con unit starting to make a few odd noises! What's the current consensus on the most cost effective manner to replace the compressor for an owner in Perth Australia? I'd made note of "Sanden sdv16" compatible with Alfa 155. Replace with parts from Eurospares? Rebuild locally? Source...

Ordered on line from Australia on the Saturday 2nd of Jan and arrived here on Wednesday!! Pretty happy with that.:luvit: On the other hand a switch for the Suzuki ordered on line 31st Dec promised to be delivered from Queensland to Perth on Wednesday has yet to arrive.

I`ve just noticed that it has started to make a noise, sounds like it`s coming from under the hood. Stops and starts with the heater knob control. Will this become a major issue or is it likely to be a simple fix, parts replacement etc. to be done at the next service It`s on a 4200, 2005. 43k...

What is the general consensus on doing this for an old car (not the mas)?

Turned off battery and closed the boot I have tried the manual key, it turns about 15 degrees but doesn't pop the lid, never used the lock before..should I be more vigorous? no luck with the glove box switch.

Mrs Migliore, bought and framed a print of this favourite cartoon.

What is currently the best option to replace the stereo and Sat Nav in a 2005 facelift in Australia? The screen is starting to flicker on more occassions and may have developed a fault, the satnav is inoperative here anyway and a Tomtom stuck somewhere inside detracts from the layout of the...

Thinking of a driving holiday with Migliore man cub (19 yo), is Route 66 too cliche or recommended? Europe? London to Rome? I always promised myself I`d go treking to Nepal with him, but the knees have caught up with me, and he`s probably grateful for that! Just fishing for ideas, thanks

The order from Eurospares Can`t wait till I get home!
