Despite my car being drove regularly, Ive got these lights all of which remain illuminated even when car is locked? Surely these will cause the battery to deplete?

Any help on how to get the lights from illuminating until I get to dealer in two weeks? Without disconnecting the battery as ive never done that

When the car is locked? That's odd. And yes, they will.

Battery disconnection is easy. Under the boot floor. There is even a thumb lever on the negative terminal so no tools required. Simply open the thumb lever and remove / wiggle the terminal clamp off. You may find that a few minutes disconnected resolves the immediate issue.

Reconnection is equally simple. Place the terminal clamp as far down on the battery post as you can, then close the thumb lever.

PS I'm assuming that despite your nickname, it's a GT. If not, ignore everything!

You'll probably be needing a new bearing...

Update: car diagnosed at MD. New wheel bearing hub needed at the cost of £1,400 + service time too so grand total of no less than £2,300. Car getting pampered as we speak,

Wheel bearing £500 ish with discount and an hours labour for a rear wheel, half an hour for the front. £1400 is frankly rude. https://www.scuderiacarparts.com/part/201721/maserati/197118/wheel-bearing-assembly.html

Yup, that is a total rip-off. Cancel the job if you can and go to an independent. Or re-negotiate.

This, not a difficult job - especially if a front. That is a substantial mark up

Dealer said part is £700+vat and 2-3 hours labor! No independents in NI that have any sense of reputation.
I have sourced a part at eurospares for £532+vat. So ill go for that.

also being charged £1,630 odd inc vat for oil change, oil filter, brake fluid, compressor drive belts, air filter and pollen filter! Seems a little much too?

im ****** because they know they have me by the short and curleys!

I pay £600 for that oil & brake fluid service with filters etc at AV engineering, inc VAT!

 

[ChrisQP09]

Fed up being in NI! No indies, tempting business proposition!

Probably cheaper to get my car trailered over to AV and back

1hr front and 4hrs for a rear is actually. Thankfully it’s NSF 9 times out of 10
