Small world. We used to live near Paris in the late 70's and early 80's and would go to the Montlery race circuit from time to time.

Thanks for your reply TimR. I have no problem with the way they look, and if they reduce shudder that's surely a good thing? However I still have a pair of unused brand new Maserati blades in stock, so based on your comments I'll use those up first. Thanks again, Tony

Thank you very much Frog3200, that's very helpful. I've just measured the existing blades , and they are BOTH 550 long, as against 550 and 530 for the pair with the reference AR550S. Searching on Amazon France I found that reference AR550U corresponds to ONE blade 550 long. The current price...

Has anybody fitted BOSCH AEROTWIN WINDSCREEN WIPERS to their 4200 please? And if so, what reference number(s)? I have them on my Alfa 156 and they work a lot better than the originals. Many thanks Tony

Many thanks Andy, I've just ordered some marker pens on Amazon !!! Thanks again for all your help. Tony

New question... Although not too bad, I have decided to redo the the sticky buttons on the radio unit. Andy has sent me all the relevant stickers (thank you Andy) and I have just received further supplies of the matt varnish and the Isopropanol. Before I take eveything apart and remove all...

Latest update : all back together AND WORKING! After many many hours I have finally completed the redoing of the five buttons that looked identical but were not. To do this I had to start by removing the multiple layers (6 or 7) of matt varnish, the two layers of satin black and the one layer...

UPDATE The relay ordered on Amazon yesterday arrived today. I fitted it and it works perfectly (i.e. the engine starts AND STOPS). For information, the original relay (that failed by sticking closed) was a "BITRON B047E 12V 30A 46520412" - Bitron is Italian. I replaced it with a "Bosch 0 332...

Many thanks Andy. I originally bought two sets of stickers and although I ruined one of them it was not one of these five. So I should be OK unless I ruin another one. Cheers Tony

Update : cause of my problem found, but it means I have to start all over again with my 5 buttons. I got to the bottom of why when I clipped on the panel it was pushing down on the buttons making most of them the equivalent of being pushed all the time. I had, wrongly alas, thought that all 5...

Thank you Zep. As the cable from the ignition switch dissappears forwards and unclipping it looked particulary awkward to do, I thought I'd try to find the appropriate relay first, just in case that would cure the not-turning-off problem. I identified relay "D" under the dashboard as being a...

Thank you Zep & C. I will try to find the connector tomorrow and do the testing as suggested.

Hello again Zep. I've been trying to locate the start enable and ignition relays by looking in my owners manual (handbook), but can find nothing that seems to match. Please could you enlighten me on the start enable and ignition relays - in particular where are they to be found? And how to...

Thanks C. Please could you tell me how to test the ignition switch - given that everything's live even when it's switched off.

Thanks Zep. Yes radio stays on when I turn the key to the off position. Please could you enlighten me on the start enable and ignition relays - in particular where are they to be found? And how to check whether they are sticking, please?

Thanks Nibby, but yes I have.

Thanks to both CatmanV2 and DLax69. I used Isopropanol 99.9% alcohol to clean the stickies, which evaporates very quickly - everything left dry and as far as I know not corroded. I have managed to work out why some of the (non-window) five switches on the accessories panel were effectively...

Thanks CatmanV2. As far as I know I had everything connected when I had the aircon and accessories panels plugged back in - but some of the (non-window) five switches on the accessories panel were effectively switched on all the time (see my posts on the "Sticky Buttons Sorted Today"...

Yes I totally agree - it's almost certainly something I've done - but what?

Update and new problems. I managed to carefully mask the top of the pins before painting of the two aircon buttons - not wonderful but they don't look too bad. Then I discovered that I hadn't noticed that the 5 buttons on the accessories panel have a way round to be able to fit them - they...
