    Kwik Lift or Quickjack portable lift for Granturismo

    I just wanted to put a post on here that people can find, as when I was searching, I struggled for conclusive info. I've always wanted some kind of vehicle lift, but my current situation means I couldn't have a permanent fixture, as I need to be able to use the garage for other purposes as...

    Can anyone measure distance between lifting points please?

    Hey peeps, I'm about to pull the plug on a quicklift/quickjack. Has anyone got their GT in air at the moment? I measured my GT lifting points some time ago and wrote down 1650mm front to back, but can't quite remember if that was to the hole centres or the outside edges to allow for lifting...

    'Check transmission go to dealer' diagnostic help please.

    I'm getting the dreaded 'check transmission go to dealer' message. In manual mode, won't go above 2nd gear... well it goes into 3rd, then immediately drops back down to 2nd and is not happy at all. In auto, will go through the gears begrudgingly but fault alarms nearly everytime it changes up...

    Petrolheadonism @Knebworth

    We were there there today. Frank was there in his GT40, and saw a few other maserati. Lots of Italian motors, along with a wide variation of other nice cars and bikes. Very much worth a look on Sunday (25th) if you're at a loose end. Stuff for the kids to do too.

    LED Bulb in Boot causing Battery drain!

    I thought this worth posting as I know a lot of people here, like me, change all their bulbs to LED as one of the first mods to update the car's appearance a bit. Until recently I'd never actually been unable to start my car due to a flat battery, but did have a feeling something was draining it...

    Rear Brake Caliper (Drivers side) Granturismo Sport.

    As above , does anyone know of one or have one available asap? I've found one on ebay, that can be delivered Tuesday but thought I'd ask here anyway just in case. An attempted extraction of a very seized nipple hasn't gone well. :worried1:

    Top 10 Grand Tourers ever?

    Not from well-known motoring press, but interesting to see the Granturismo is the highest 'modern' GT on their list at number 4. https://www.hotcars.com/best-grand-tourers-ever-made/amp/

    Stone The Crows! Bird like nightmare :-(

    So... Yesterday morning I went out to the car to load up for a few days away with the family, and was greeted with this nightmare sight :mad: My first assumption, looking at the marks, was that a neighbour's dog had been trying to get to a bird or cat that may have sat on the car. The marks...

    Wanted - Granturismo Wheel Swap. My 20"Astro Design for your 20"MC Design.

    I know wheels are a very personal thing, so just putting it out there in case someone's up for a swap. I do love my Astros, but seen a few with the MC design lately and quite fancy them. (not enough to buy a set outright though lol) Anyone feel the opposite and fancy a swap?

    Fm help. Aerial / antenna location

    Ever since I fitted my carplay/androidauto system I've lost FM on the standard radio. Hasn't really bothered me as I use tunein radio on the app. I'm going to the top gear filming on Wednesday and need FM to hear the broadcast so need to sort it. (I'll probably take a hand held radio anyway to...

    Brake caliper colour... Red vs Yellow - at last the correct answer!

    :eek: WHITE! :mock8: I know quite a few of you will absolutely hate it, but for me, I think it suits my particular car much better. There is nothing else red or yellow on the car and I thought the white would tie it in with the light interior and brighten the otherwise very dark wheel...
