While out driving on Saturday, I pulled into a parking lot and then wasn't able to select any gear. We pushed the car to the kerb with the engine running and shut off the engine. Now the dash shows an engine light and a transmission light and the car won't start. I notice that the pump isn't...

Hi all. My car is going fine but threw an engine light this morning. Now I'm sure I've plugged in an ODB port reader before, but can't find now where I plugged it in. I've searched everyhere online, but I've drawn a blank. It always says below the steering wheel, or to the left, but I've...

I just got a new WOF (MOT) on Saturday and was looking forward to a road trip on Sunday morning. The car was running well and I was enjoying my new refurbed buttons and knobs on the centre console. I was traveling at around 100km/hr when bang - I thought I'd run over something. There was an...

Well I finally bit the bullet, so to speak and sent my sticky buttons and knobs off to Lorenzo in Florida. The slow shipping post COVID came into full effect and though it took less than a week for him to receive them, the return trip took the best part of three weeks. They did eventually...

Hi all I'm taking the boot floor out of my 4200 again to check on a clunking noise. Anyway when removing the floor, I notice that all the screws are partially stripped and have burred heads. Does anyone know what size these are? I've tried to check, but can't get a valid thread pitch either...

Has anyone used the button sticker kits available on Ebay? 2002-06 MASERATI CAMBIOCORSA COUPE SPYDER DELUXE BUTTON RESTORATION KIT How was the result? I see they've sold nearly 400 kits, so someone must have bought one.

Due to a recent faux pas, I now have a cut in one of the two fuel lines running down the right hand side of the car. Short of replacing the entire fuel line, has anyone successfully done a repair? It appears to be 8mm plastic tubing and is easy to access, but I'm not sure how to go about it...

Hi all My 4200 CC is back on the road. It started up without issue, or funny noises, after it's protracted 4 month long repair. It was a bit daunting to drop the transmission and replace the EV1 pipe, though it took much longer to get it all back together. Working under jack stands wasn't...

Hi Apologies if this has been asked before, but is there an easy to access fuse that can be pulled to allow the engine to crank for a while to circulate oil before attempting start up. With it having sat for a while, I'm anxious for some oil to be circulated prior to starting. Cheers Graeme

A while ago, I managed to break the small connection off the radiator that goes to the plastic header tank. I made a fix that works, but I note that the epoxy I used is breaking down and continuing to leak due to the temperature. Has anyone used something which has been permanent repair...

Hi All After my recent replacement of the EV1 pipe I'm now trying to reconnect the gearbox to the torque tube. They're about 2cm apart. Although everything seems lined up they just don't seem to want to reconnect. I thought it might have been because the prop shaft was out of line with the...

Hi all Has anyone bought the complete workshop manual on the Maserati Coupe M138 from emanualonline.com? I just wondered if it was any good for transmission details? Cheers Graeme

Well I new my recent good run had to come to an end. Had a breakdown about 110km from home. First the level light flashed on, then it wouldn't select first at a traffic light. I eventually got it to change a few times but 5km later it selected neutral and that was it. I was stuck in a no...

Hi Guys I finally had my wheel alignment done after replacing my rear suspension arms a few months ago. The front end alignment was done about 6 months ago when I had the front arms replaced and I was very happy with the result. I haven't done that much mileage since the rear replacement...

Hi Guys I'm removing my 4200 fuel tank to replace the LH fuel pump which is leaking at the top with a second hand one. My question is how do the fittings on the pipes in the photos remove? Cheers Graeme

Hi team My 2004 4200 cc has suddenly developed a petrol smell in the boot. Worse, if the windows are down it comes into the car. I found a couple of threads, but is there are a most likely cause? There is no visible petrol just the smell. Any suggestions on where to start? Cheers...

Hi everyone Does anyone know what colour the radio console and NIT cover trim are painted in? I've had to repair the NIT console as it was cracked and now would like to paint it the right colour. Cheers Graeme

Hi Guys I changed the header tank and the thermostat on my 4200 CC over our long holiday weekend. It was quite a job. The header tank (Nourice)was easy but I managed to dislodge the clip on the RH bonnet strut and lost it in the depths of the engine bay which no amount of searhing has...

Greetings fellow owners I had the front arms changed by a local garage, but not being overly impressed I've decided to do the rear ones myself. I've bought both front and rear from Eurospares and am very pleased with their service. These are the pattern units at 395 GBP each. The garage said...
