Hi Matt, assuming he will work on any type of car could you send me his number please ?

Why would you not spend 15 minutes giving the engine bay a quick clean? :as003:

Just out of interest, if the plastic chain guides have worn or snapped what sort of damage can this cause to the engine and how costly is the repair?

This is my old boy Freddy the Border Terrier, he will be 14 in June and has Cushings Disease the medicine for which costs a bloody fortune - I could easily afford to run another Maserati for what it costs !

Thanks Nidge, files received ok

Hi P5Nij - thanks for posting the photos. You have taken a good one of me arriving (reg. no. LF08 EBJ) but the resolution on the forum looks pretty low. If the original is better quality is there any chance that you could forward me a copy please, my email address is tim_harvey@hotmail.co.uk...

Was a fantastic day, thanks for organising it Dem. I didn’t get to meet many of you but it was great to see such a fantastic turn out of Maseratis. @Zep i will be in contact sometime later this year to discuss the brake discs.

No the actuated exhaust valves linked to the sport button are only on the facelift version. Although the exhaust on the prefacelift does actually have internal valves that are operated by exhaust pressure only - there are a few threads about this on here and the guy on YouTube with the early...

No not for the pre-facelift models, there is a Sport GT (which still has the Skyhook suspension and most are DuoSelect but I believe there are some that have the ZF gearbox) and the Sport GT S the details of which I sent earlier. The GTS inscription on the glove box and the oval tail pipes are...

Yes Alcantara is standard on this model. The attached PDF gives all the specs and is taken directly from the Maserati media pack CD that was provided at the launch of the pre-facelift Quattroporte Sport GT S Automatica. Here are some links to reviews of this model...

I dont think that is a strictly true statement or at least I hope not as mine has the TPMS light on permanently - but as I understand it in the case of the TPMS the MOT check is only valid for vehicles manufactured after 2012. As far as the airbag light I think that is definitely a fail.

I have this exact same wheel on my QP V which is a 2008 pre facelift Sport GT S Automatica (a fairly rare model with just 667 produced worldwide) - it is definitely a genuine Maserati wheel but I don’t know if it was standard (or an option) on any other models though.

Only just!

Hi Alan Thank you for the kind offer, I may very well do that. Is it the Shell station in the attached map that you are referring too? Cheers, Tim
