    Steering/Steering Fluid

    Hi all, started to hear some funny abrasion sounds when pulling a hard right on the steering. Turns out there is another Maserati 4200 in the next street so the owner, great guy, thought a top up of steering fluid might be needed. So we topped it up a couple of weeks ago and all has been...

    Engine control system (EOBD) and slow down Catalytic converter lights

    Mmmmm, Just parked up and everything was fine. Got in the car an hour later and both lights are on. Have called the AA but don't suppose they can do much and the manual is very generic here. Realise I should get it to a dealer ASAP to have a look at but does anyone know what the general...

    Problems getting my 4200 into gear

    Hi All, Having problems getting my 4200GT into gear, when starting from cold it's taking a few minutes to get into gear and until it's warm 5-10 mins later it's a real problem. I fear I might have a gear box or clutch problem looming but thought I'd check with those in the know first...

    Battrey Drain 4200 Coupe

    I have a 05 4200 Coupe that's developed a battrey drain problem. I first noticed this when I came back from a week away but today is the fourth time I have had to call the AA out, after the car sat for just 26 hours. I'm told it must be an intermittent drain as they can't seen any drain at...
