    Sway Bars-Brand New Formula Dynamics- 1/2 price (Quattroporte V)

    It’s pretty heavy, probably 10kg, but I’d have to weigh them. If you have a friend in London to pick up that would be far cheaper for you, and easier all around. You could pay your friend and he could pay me when he picks up

    Formula Dynamics Lowering Springs (brand new, 1/2 price) for DuoSelect Quattroporte

    I bought these for my Quattroporte DuoSelect (2005), but the car was written off in November before I got a chance to fit them. Selling for half the retail price (i.e half the VAT included price which is £932), still in plastic, never fitted...

    2005 Maserati Quattroporte - Sell or swap?

    I know its an older thread, but I'm in a similar boat.. and been driving for two years paying the ULEZ. Who did you talk to at Maserati? There may be a possibility that the Euro 3 Nix levels are actually low enough to qualify for an exemption but requires a letter from Maserati. It would be...

    QP Wood Rim Steering Wheel - Who refurbs them?

    my QP has steering wheel which is mostly wood, with some leather. The wood is piano black, and it has multiple chips in areas, and is crazed in other areas (though the leather is fine). Does anyone have any recommendations on who could refurb the wood part of the wheel?

    Aluminium dead pedal- using one as a template for more

    I have to ask the parts guy at HR Owen again. I missed out on ebay on a 2nd hand one from the USA. It looks like its the same part as the "MC sportline" for the granturismo/cabrio as the QPV Sport GT (2006). I saw it first in the 2006 Sport GT QPV I was looking at buying. Its item 27 in the...

    maserati QP wheel alignment specifications

    I thought going to the dealer for a wheel alignment was a joke.... but apparently not! As a first step I will get a quote from HR Owen; to be fair they have not been bad to me parts wise- have gotten a trade price on my Lambo parts, and the recent wheel bearing for the QPV. I've just never used...

    maserati QP wheel alignment specifications

    Who would you recommend in/near London? (I live in SW1). A few places with Hunter machines all said its to hard, and to take it to the dealer (HR Owen). I also have the inner 25% excessive wear, but on the rears only as far as I can tell...

    Rear Hub Nut size (what socket do I need?)

    Thanks Zep. I bought a Sealy 41mm impact socket on ebay, and used my De Walt 20v cordless impact wrench (900nm torque) and it whipped the nut of in an instant. I'd read on the "other" forum that some special "low profile" socket was needed, but I found a regular Sealy impact socket fitted and...

    2011 GTS Vacuum line unplugged

    Consider running a full ester oil; if you're in the USA, redline oil has higher ZDDP levels, and the Group V (full ester base) resists fuel dilution. Here in the UK i run Miller's NTS+ for both those reasons ( also I run the oil in my Murcielago, DB9 and Cayenne Turbo).

    IS DS temperature/cold engine sensitive?

    Mine is exactly the same. I've not had to warm up a car in years, but I honestly feel uncomfortable with the noise and vibrations on cold start. Its not the variators. I run Millers Full Ester Synthetic oil; I was so concerned I even sent an oil sample of for oil analysis last winter when I...
