    Newbie, carless but curious and looking

    Couldn't agree more. Still chuffed at doing the SKF rear track-rod bearings replacement on the MCV. Your help, with very clear instructions, made the job a snack, Zep. Saved me thousands of $s, AND I enjoyed the journey...

    Clutch wear claims from Selling (independent) dealership

    I asked my (independent) mechanic about doing a clutch wear check on my MCV. He thinks it's just another thing to 'worry' about. "When the clutch starts to give trouble is the time to replace it" was his advice.

    Buying a car

    I'm quite sure I would not have these current cars, if I went on advice from others. I buy what I want :- 1924 Lancia Lambda, 1925 Vauxhall 30-98, 1938 Morgan 4/4, 1954 VW Beetle, AND 2006 Maserati MCV. Oh, and my daily drive is a 2018 Golf wagon (estate) - AND it's WHITE...

    OIL FILTER FOR 2006 MCV

    I'm sure the Sydney dealer will have them. It's not due for an oil change for a while, so I'll order them there. Just thought you may like to 'clear some stock'...

    OIL FILTER FOR 2006 MCV

    Just a thought Phil. Would you be happy to sell me a couple of your filters - assuming they are the correct ones for my MCV?. If so, would you be prepared to send them to me in Australia? If you would be OK with that, maybe you could sell me the total cost for 2 {incl. shipping, etc}, and we...

    OIL FILTER FOR 2006 MCV

    Not sure if the oil filter I have is suitable for my MCV. It's a blue Maserati filter, numbered 479.04.09.00. I cannot remember if it's one left over from the 3200GT or not. OK for the MCV or not?

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    .My Vauxhall 30-98 will be 100 years old next year. There's no reason why it won't last another 100 years. Recently it did a 1000 mile plus trip, without any problems. New cars are made to last 10 years. I rest my case...
