My car was hit while parked up last week, the repair bill for. Some relatively minor cosmetic work is rather substantial and unsurprisingly the insurance company are looking to write the car off. The issue is the valuation… The indicative vale of the car is around the £8k mark. My car is a...

I’m late to the party, but when I saw this thread I immediately recognised the symptoms… this happened to my car when the clutch was changed… My local Maserati dealership fixed the problem in less than an hour! The clutch parameters get corrrupted and can’t re-learn. I thought the TCU would...

Nice even being a cat car you can't complain at that price!

If you want a 2006 Sport GT (MY2007 - last of the duo selects so better F1 ecu) with the carbon interior and pretty much all the options plus a brand new clutch, you could have a chat with me... But it would set you back £13k

Cheers Srpout & Conaero I knew subframes were something to look at, but great to have a photo to help. Sprout, that is just the ticket, I'll pass this on to my friend.

Hey ho, it's been a while, but does anyone know this car? I've still got the QP, but a friend of a friend is interested in this... RX08 BFJ Nero Carbonio GT I know if I search there will be plenty of things to look out for, but is there a greatest hits of moody things to keep an eye out for...

Thats a great video, its amazing what people can produce now... No doubt he's got a fair amount of expensive gear, but not long ago that sort of production would be big budget, pro studio stuff.

I wondered what changed too... You get the cheap tax - 2006 onward is £660 a year, but we get the 2 year service interval... Engine looks the same, produces the same power, most of the parts I've seen are the same...

I doubt its as easy as 2 bolts on a very exposed elbow like my old escort, but is it much of a ballache to get to??

When looking to px my 2006 sport GT which has a little more spec than yours, but 85000miles I was being offered sub 8k - If I was offered 10k, I'd have taken it, yes it's worth more, but in the grand scheme of things, a few grand for no hassle and the car your after wins over.

When I had some paint done, I asked the question and after some scuttling about the chap said that the bumper needs to come off to get to them

Dropped off my QP at Jardines Colchester the other week and in the workshop was an SP2 for its annual service, Green with gold stripe and wheels... Only done 11 miles in its lifetime! Utterly gorgeous, totally impractical, yet 100% want! They opened it up and let me peer at the thing... Looks...

Where does one squirt the magic spray? Over the front of the sensor? The join between sensor and bumper?

Mine did this too, wasn't sure if it was clutch or position sensor, so replaced both and its better

Thanks Spkenny, we tried this and the pump primed on the key turn, so TCU is able to control the pump... Are there any more ideas anyone can throw at this? I'm sinking quite deep into this money pit, would be satisfying to get the car to start without having to have it transported to a...
