Fantastic, congratulations - it looks great

It looks very similar to one that Marshall in Peterborough sold new in 2019, it was the last GT that they ordered for stock and sold - maybe it's the same car, were they the original supplying dealer?
Cheers! Definitely a different car. Marenello supplied it originally

Yes, my mistake - I have just looked back through my photos and it was a Granturismo MC with a black interior & black wheels - other than that, they're like two peas in a pod!!

Ditto, welcome back! Yes, I also remember you from one of the Horsham events. I think you came with your daughters. Tell me they're not all grown up by now!

Your last GTS was utterly gorgeous, yet somehow you seem to have bettered it. Well done!

Couple of issues to figure out next week with the service team if I can’t solve them over the weekend. Car has new tyres and I’m getting a TPMS not calibrated warning. Easy fix you would think but I cannot access the TPMS screen or the calibration screen as it’s missing as you cycle through with the button. Any ideas?

other issue is the current gear indicator screen in the centre of the instruments is blank. So you can see the RPM indicator, but no P,R,N,D or what manual gear you are in. Feels like it might be an OBD plug in and config job to fix but let me know if anyone has any ideas.

Not sure what year it is? TPMS has a button up by the courtesy light that you press (at least on my non MC early one) then you need to drive for about 15 minutes.

Centre display settings are accessed from the Settings in the 'stereo' Again, from memory. I don't think you can get gear indication and the rev indicator at the same time, but again, mine wasn't an MC.....

<edit> Not sure why I posted that, given you've had one before, you'd know as much as I!

Thanks and yes all sounds familiar. This is a 2019 and doesn’t have the button up by the courtesy light and the MTC infotainment has slightly different menus to my old one and cannot get it so bring the gear display back. I’m sure my old one had gear and RPM active at the same time also.

@c4sman it requires a proxy alignment at the dealers to fix the instrument cluster. It should fix the TPMS error too.
For the benefit of anyone else with this issue, I took the car into the Egham service centre on Saturday and as Dicky said they carried out a proxy alignment and all is well now. Only took half an hour and great now I can tell what gear I’m in as well as see tyre pressure is all present and correct. Thanks again!

Quick question on the ZF gearbox in my car. I’ve noticed that when in manual mode on initial throttle application in all gears there is a sensation that feels like clutch slip for about half a second after throttle application. I know it’s not a clutch as such as it’s a traditional 6 speed auto but having had similar slush boxes before I haven’t noticed similar behaviour. Say I’m in second gear at 2500 rpm with a steady throttle and then quickly increase throttle, the revs jump a few 100rpm and then drop back down a little and then the car starts to accelerate as drive is “taken up”. I would expect once in gear that engine speed and road speed would be “locked” once your rolling.

Not a big deal but normal?
