    4200 Manual Clutch / Engine Light / Suspension

    My 4200 has just had the clutch master cylinder replaced by a specialist. This has solved the problem I had of not being able to engage a gear until after the car had warmed but has created other issues.

    Advice needed from fellow 4200 manual owners

    Not starting

Perhaps more exhaust fumes than usual, but hard to tell on these cold mornings. Engine seemed to make a ‘clunk’ when turned off. Starter...

    Hi All, My 56 plate 4200 manual has always hovered between approx 85 and 93 when in heavy traffic but in the last couple of days the temp seems to be higher - up to just over 100.

    4200 Phone Holder

    Really struggling to find something to hold my iPhone 7 Plus on the vertical centre console - what does everyone use? I bought an airvent clipped one (with adjustable clip) but it scratched the vent covers - they’re covered with the same sticky sh*tty material as the buttons I think. I refuse...

    Hi All, Everywhere I've read about Maserati on the internet has pointed me to this forum as THE source of sound advice and reliable information, so here I am. The title of the thread may lead you to think that I'm clinically insane (97k!) but the car is in fantastic condition and has recent...
