    Dashboard full of warning lights finally fixed - hopefully...

    I’d been through the “new battery” and “trickle charger” method, waiting until all warning lights going off before starting etc etc, but the car finally let me know what the issue was by triggering the ABS whilst coming up to a red traffic light at about 15mph. Lots of noise from control unit...

    Warning lights - continuing saga.

    So I’ve been having the “dashboard full of warning lights issue” for a while. Battery replaced, alternator is fine, kept on a trickle charger. What happens is that all runs fine, temperature 85° when in motion, then get say into a stationary queue. Temp goes up to 90°, fans come on, stays static...

    No ABS, no ESC, no suspension, end of the world etc warning lights....

    Ok, so I keep getting the well-known dash full of warning lights as above. The alternator is OK according to the main dealer who checked it, I’ve just had a new battery fitted, and the car is kept on a CTEK charger which is wired direct to the battery. Any ideas?

    Help please - tyre cracks - advice.

    Noticed today these cracks in both front tyres on my GT. This is a 13 plate car, so 2.5 years old. I've done 3k miles in it since buying it from a main dealer in April, had 3.5k on it when I got it. First q - do I need to replace them? Second q - is this normal. They're Pirelli P-Zeros by the way.

    Wind Noise

    I bought my 2013 GT Sport in April, and am loving the experience so far. One slight irritation however; at motorway speeds, if there's a large gust of crosswind, I get a whistling from the top of the driver's door. Lowering and re-closing fixes the issue until the next gust, but this can be a...

    First Maserati

    Just bought my first Maserati (2013 Granturismo Sport Auto) after 5 years of Porsche ownership. Initial feelings about the car are very good, although it feels a bit slow after my 997 Turbo. Still, it's a GT not a sports car so will get used to it no doubt. Quick mention for JCT600 Leeds who...
