    Lots of us love a V12 Aston Martin.....

    Yes correct. Do you own a Vanquish yourself? I don't think this is in any way beyond expectations. A mate of mine owns numerous Astons including virtually the same car as mine whose experience has been even better than myself re clutch life, Yes I know of Vinnie (note the e) but in practical...

    Lots of us love a V12 Aston Martin.....

    Just to clarify a few points re the Vanquish gearbox as it seems the internet rumours are still doing the rounds. I've owned my '03 Vanquish for 12 years. I do anywhere between 3-6k miles a year on average - I'm still on the original clutch that was done just before I bought the car. It has...

    Couple of QPV Issues

    Thanks both. Let me try the battery reset. Battery seems ok but the car is definitely not being used as much in the current climate so that could be the culprit

    Couple of QPV Issues

    All, Looking for the collective wisdom re a couple of issues I have with my QPV GTS. The adjustment/folding on my wing mirrors has stopped - I can’t find reference to a fuse in the manual. Also, weirdly the passenger side air conditioning is working fine but the drivers side is blowing warm...

    TPMS Control Unit

    Morning All, I have the rather too common TPMS control unit failure on my ‘08 QPV GTS. Not a big deal just replace the unit you say, well it seems Maserati wants to make life more difficult. I’m told by my workshop that the part is no longer available to order. Instead you have to remove the...

    Anyone know this QP?

    I haven’t bought a car from Giallo, but Matthew has serviced my cars for 12+ years and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him

    Instrument Cluster Failure

    Thanks everyone for your feedback. I'm told centre display has failed completely. It was actually fine before it went to get another issue with the car looked at. I would have assumed that they checked the connectors, but I'll make sure that was done. The indie has said that the cluster is...

    Instrument Cluster Failure

    All, I've got a QPV GTS where the centre screen on the instrument cluster has failed. I'm told this will mean a new £1.3k replacement. My indie is saying this is the first he's seen. I'd be interested on hearing any similar experiences, and ideally cheaper solutions. Many thanks

    QP V Brake Light Bulb

    One of my brake light bulbs blew on my '08 QP V GTS and I replaced it with a Bosch 566 P21/4W which seemed to be the correct equivalent. However, I'm still getting the error message on the dash. Could someone confirm a 566 is the correct bulb for the brake lights. Many thanks

    Trim Repair

    Gents, I have a very nice QP GTS care of Richard Grace after some of you kindly pointed me his way about a year ago. I do have an issue with the trim peeling away around the rear electronic blind that I'd like to address. The advice I got from my independent dealer is that it's a difficult...

    Wanted: Quattroporte Sport GT

    Thanks David, but I do prefer the black leather. Plus my young son is likely to cause havoc with any light coloured interior. Thanks for the welcome Andy and the pointer for Richard. I'll definitely give him a call.
