Gotcha. Is it difficult to replace do you know?

Hi, I think I may have mis-described the part. I believe the issue is in the canister that is attached to the accelerator - the drive by wire sensor. Indy was getting codes releated to it, cleared them, but they have no come back with throttle issues / almost like limp mode, but no lights on...

Hi, What is involved with replacing the throttle potentiometer in a 4200? Is this simple DIY? Thanks!

Thanks - will need to check the harness. So it seems the pedal potentiometers hardly ever give trouble on the 4200's..?

Hi folks, Have a 2005 facelift coupe (4200). It's not had a lot of use of late, and had lazy throttle pedal the other day (low power). Had happened before a service some months ago, but at that time I'd done the battery off for a few hours, then a min or so on MAR, 10 mins idling no input, and...

Interesting - it's had the shoes replaced, and a new handbrake cable... It's the same sound at 30mph over non smooth road through - am thinking it might be something else?

Hi there, Two squeaks to diagnose please... First is in the car - think around headlining / upper trim on passenger side. Sounds like a clip or screw vibrating up and down. There is general noise if you push on the trim around the window passenger side, and the part is loose that runs behind...

Thanks - that's a good lead!

Hi, During some recent work, one of the passenger side bulb lens (white rectangular part) seems to have had the slips broken on one side. Is this part available separately? This is UK RHD car, with the passenger sun visor having flap, that when you open it, two lights come on on either side of...

Maybe tracker with old battery pack? This is a common 4200 issue. Cobra Navtrack can replace the unit. Or your main battery is failing? Or light remaining on in glovebox? The above don't explain the alarm failure directly, but maybe the battery in the siren (or alarm module) is also failing...

I've had to do an alternator, and I think they get a lot of heat where they are. But great point on the v-belt check suggestion above...

It's being worked on at the moment - up on lift :)

I ended up getting the pattern part arms (rear lower levers) in the end. They def seem to be from the same casting as the OE ones, so nice saving. Al in all, the Maserati design seems pretty poor in terms of tracking adjustment All the other gaiters seem OK, so will stick with stock...

Thanks - good to have another option.

Thanks - that's great! I'll check out cost of the kit delivered (and estimate any extra assembly cost), then compare to the Eurospares pattern price. I'm glad to hear these pattern parts are working out OK, as they were just coming to market when I looked last.

Wow, thanks for all for the info! So, just to call it back: 1. Maserati OEM lower arms "lower lever" (x2) £2800 + installation and alignment (or maybe just the driver side) 2. Eurospares pattern part lower arms (x2) £800 + installation and alignment. - Question: are these any good? Has...

So the 4200 facelift has gone through annual inspection and passed ... just. It seems there is some play in the rear wheels - related to the arms - lower most likely. Not clear if the ball joint or bushing. Worse on driver side. I posted on a noise in rear driver side arm before, and we...

Thanks for this - I'll have a go!

Hi all, How do you get the boot (trunk) lamp out (the one that lights the compartment)? Do you need to remove the carpet effect trim, or just prise out the housing from the metalwork? Is it a 36mm festoon C5W? Was thinking of replacing with an LED. Thanks for your help :)

Thanks - I might purchase those. It's pretty cold to do anything much at the moment! The reason to replace is that one of the sidelight bulbs failed. It didn't last long either. The yellowish (but long lasting) bulbs were replaced with halogen Philips WhiteVision W5W (501) which look much...
