    Lost key - how do I get a replacement for my Gransport?

    hi all, As part of getting ready for LeMans I’ve realised I can’t find my spare key for the Gransport. I know it’s in the house somewhere, but it’s proving impossible to find…. This scares me a little bit in terms of travelling to France without a spare set of key, but I also know I am going to...

    Greetings from the past

    Hi all, Just wanted to say hi and hope all of you, and your cars are doing well…. I seem to have not been on the forum at all for the last 6-9 months, which has coincided with my GS just languishing in the garage with nowhere to go. Here’s hoping that 2022 will be a better year, both for...

    Advice please - do you think main dealer service history matters?

    Hi all, This is not Maserati related, but I’m interested in the views of car enthusiasts. Our family car is a 2016 Range Rover Sport, which we’ve had for 4 years, and until now it’s always been serviced by Guy Salmon, who were the supplying dealership. In March 2020 I bought it off the lease...

    I’m pressing pause...

    Hi all, I’ve been posting less on this forum, and recently have been limited to posts about what I drink, what I weigh, and the colour of my Gransport interior... Not legendary, and I recognise I won’t be a massive loss... I get that it’s really easy (and in many ways kinda dumb) to think...

    I drove my Gransport today and I liked it....

    First time in about 3 months for me, and apart from all the cyclists and the elderly in their Nissan Leafs it was epic... Hopefully it won’t be 3 months before I do it again???

    About to lighten my wallet... what should I be expecting

    Hi all, I’m taking my Gransport for a spin down to Emblem in Bournemouth tomorrow for a slightly belated (due to Covid) annual service. The car has done 37,000 miles and was last serviced at 34,000 miles by Autoshield just before I bought it in Feb 19. Since then I’ve sorted out some frozen...
