OK so its got worse, so I have booked it in. They are collecting this time week after next.
2 weeks time!!! If it's their problem to sort, they should be fixing it yesterday!
Especially as it's the brakes.
What if it was a daily?
It is a daily! That's the first time they have a loan car (well, the Monday is but they can collect on the Tues)
I'd suggest you hire one and send them the bill
(or possibly suggest to them that your solicitor suggests they hire one for you....)

Maserati have initially said they wont cover the discs (despite them lasting only 180 miles)!
This has taken 8 days so far.
I don't understand this. What are they suggesting that you are doing to warp the discs in 180 miles? Its has to be either faulty fitting or defective parts. I can't see how you could drive it in a manner that would cause them to warp in that time. Especially given the number of miles it took for you to wear down your initial set of pads.
Personally I would turn this into a deal on a new car. They must have a selection of deep discount new diesel Ghiblis' to get your hands on?

Mine is quite well specced, and apart from this annoyance with the brakes its been great. I'd rather keep it.
Oddly, speaking to the dealer the other week, they still have decent demand for diesel Ghiblis and Levantes. I guess that if you're buying a Maserati diesel the tax increase is proportionally smaller than cheaper cars so nothing to worry about.
I don't believe they are warped, personally

I only know as I have been googling warped discs and causes..I have no idea what this DVT is I'm afraid. A DTI would certainly be what I would use.
I would really ask them why they are getting warped. Possibly ask to see them being tested and then find another dealer.....

Yes they've checked the hubs.. as did my local garage. They're fine.Right got it.
So a DTI won't show DVT. I can imagine that the are suffering from DVT (not warping) but given it's happened to what, three sets in a row I'd be looking at the hubs (based on that article)
