    Police?

    I'm not a police officer but I do know a reasonable amount about firearms and the law - PM me if you want, can't promise I can fully help though

    Another Bearings / Battery / Christmas Tree Thread

    I'm going to have to do one of my front's to have any hope of passing the MOT next month and with the demise of SI I guess I will be doing it myself :( Was going to try one of the Chinese and see how long it lasts! These no doubt all come from the same place but at least this one is UK sold...

    THE FUTURE vs THE PAST!!

    He's a resident, it's always parked in that street whenever I go to the Wellington - and of course ULEZ compliant. In fact the last time I went I took the GT as the Mrs diesel Merc isn't compliant

    High miles?

    My GranTurismo is at 94k and I don't use it enough - only put 2k on it in the last year - need to try and hit the magic century this year

    Road Tax

    On a per mile rate it's certainly becoming a bit mad!

    2013 GTS Front headlight washer stuck out…

    headlight washers on vehicles first used from 1 September 2009 (if they have them) If pre Sept 2009 then not a test item - I have one faulty so just pulled the fuse and as it's a late 2008 it's not part of the MOT

    Sportsitalia…the end

    Hi Matt & Ash, what an absolute shocker, all the best to you and the guys. Hopefully it won't be too long until the Phoenix rises, for sure there will be a long line of ready customers. Guess I will remain without Aircon for a while, the wheel bearing may present a greater issue come MOT time...

    The good morning thread

    I would recommend Hogs & Heifer's off Fremont Street in Vegas for a suitable weird but entertaining bit of bar life :)

    All our renewals came recently with 30% to 40% increases - used a comparison site and got them back to last year's amounts - as usual loyalty gets you nowhere! Shop around :)

    Frustrations of working as a Motor Vehicle Technician.

    Did you do the camshaft sensor as well or just the crank? That will give these symptoms although usually would also fail to start when hot and normally leave a code

    Tyre recommendations for GT

    I'm running Bridgestone's and have to say they've been pretty good, no more tramlining or spinning up in the damp like the old PZero's

    Maserati Insurance

    Mine went up by £40 last week to £325 for a GT - 50ish in a good postcode, not garaged, limited to 4k per year - I use Performance Direct as a broker, the cover probably isn't great but as it's a 2009 it's not worth so much

    Granturismo squeaky when damp!

    Mine squeaks when I first drive up the road if it hasn't been used for a while, it stops after a few hundred yards though

    New Maranello Maserati Ascot showroom

    Driving down Ascot high street yesterday I see that the old Land Rover showroom (been empty at least 2yrs) suddenly has a Maserati sign going up - seems Maranello are making this a Maserati only showroom - maybe converting Egham to Ferrari only?

    First car...how much?!

    My first was a Fiat 127 900CL in a truly shocking bright green - paid £200 for it in 1987 - quickly progressed to a Mirafiori whose passenger door used to fly open when you went round a roundabout too quickly :D Currently No.1 son has 2002 Mk4 Golf 1.4E that we bought from an elderly neighbour...

    Ineos Grenadier and flipping

    I've decide to 'stick' for now - only done 500 miles in it! There are currently 8 for sale on Autotrader averaging between £15k & £20k over list - whether anyone will pay that I don't know - delivery is currently estimated around 12 months from order I think. I will give it 6 months and see how...
