    Auto or MC shift?

    I've seen a 2008 GranTurismo 4.7 S auto that I could be interested in after previously owning a 4200. I've read the MC shift cars (with a clutch) don't have a gear lever where as all the Automatic cars do. Is this true? The car is advertised as an auto but only has two buttons on the center...

    4200 Front Bumper. Advice and opinions needed.

    I've removed the front bumper on my 4200 in order to change the engine radiator.

    4200 oil change.

    Could someone please tell my why the favoured method of draining the oil tank seems to be by disconnecting the oil pipe. There appears to be a drain plug in the bottom of the tank so why not use that?

    4200 Clutch.

    I think I'm going to have to fit a new clutch to my 4200 CC this winter. From what I've read on this forum Valeo clutches have caused problems in the past through tang failure. Eurospares are listing Valeo clutches, will these be an improved version or are they best avoided? Does anyone know?

    4200 front sub frame removal.

    Having completely stripped the front suspension on my car it occurred to me that now might be the time to remove the front sub frame. I can see all the bolts that attach it to the car but the question is this. Do the bolts go into captive nuts in the chassis legs or are there ordinary nuts on...

Mine will select reverse without being lifted which isn't a problem but isn't how it should be. So the question is this, what would happen if you were...

    Could someone tell me at what RPM the clutch starts to bite. This is on a 2003 4200 CC. The engine in my car idles at an indicated 1000 RPM, the clutch seems to bite at about 1200 RPM. This makes a smooth take off a bit of a challenge as pressing the accelerator at this point is a bit like...
