What have you done to your Maserati today?

[RoaryRati]

Bugger the weather Annie... send us the Vino Ewan!

We're okay on the wine front - and he has sent us his weather - keep going @Ewan

 

[Ewan]

Checked the oil and coolant after the 600 mile trip to Bordeaux yesterday. All good - not a drop used.

Yep - working air con, thankfully. We have 37C predicted tomorrow, so very much needed!
That’s for our lunch at Domaine de Chevalier.
Next day it’s touted to be 40C, when we visit Chateau D’Yquem.

.... but in the morning a pool of liguid under the Spyder - panic! Tasted it - not glycol/coolant - a bit soapy screenwasher? topped all fluids up and came to the conclusion it was washing water held in the trays underneath slowly dripping onto the floor - not driven enough after the rinsing!

Yes! I wasn’t sure there was a NW gang! I’ve been lurking for a bit but never seen anyone up this way.

We all seem to visit Ribblehead viaduct, so maybe a meet there is on the cards?

I had a pool under my Merc but it turned out to be the Air Con.... Also your tasting the liquid? Do you have cats near you?

We'll be in the area beginning of August - but not in the Maser (he'll be in Chester for a sticky button refurb)

 

[anna.fletcher]

Yeah would be keen for a trip up! Some awesome driving around there! I regularly do an 150mile ish loop from mine in Preston.

Not to the Ghibli, but Mrs C's Giulietta. Chiseled off the oil filler and swapped out the coolant header for one that doesn't leak....

Took the Mas out for the test drive and a fuel run yesterday. Can say that the front damping has improved since the refurb: It doesn't feel as jumpy as it did, it's much more smooth and controlled. Unfortunately there's now a slight difference between front and back as the back now feels a bit firmer than the front.
Could also be standard. It doesn't bother me too much so I think I'll leave as is for now.

In the meantime the car has thrown an airbag light. Will need to get that looked at, sigh....There'll come a day I've got everything sorted on this car.

Anyway, mileage YTD: 61 Km and gonna put 40 more on today, airbag light or not. Whoop, whoop!!!

Changed my engine cover bolts to titanium ones. Saving an amazing 70 grams.
Changed out my solar sensor for a used one. It wasnt reading one side. All good now. So another active fault fixed.

Drove around a bit, AC seems to struggle when its 30 celsius or above. Will have to do a check next time car is in the garage.
