Morning Graham.

 

I have a Grancabrio that has a similar light – reads on the OBD as ‘fuel circuit A control pump open..’. Actually there is nothing wrong having connected to the Maserati OBD which is more sophisticated, plus observation. The guys at the shop said that there is a short somewhere – either nr the fuel pump or could be in the ICU. Either way, to find it might take an hour or 20. They advised leave and monitor. I just turn the light off using my OPD app now.

As an update I found the part I needed in the fight colour, got it, fitted it and all is well (if not being poorer for it). As a consequence I have the old part available if anyone needs one that isn’t perfect but maybe better than what they have now (!?). I am sure can be made to look better with some skills.

Let me know.

Hi Tony

 

I found one but in the US – have ordered it. Costs about the same as re-trimming in leather here. They are vinyl as standard but no trimmers could get the material/colour etc in that thickness so only leather. Im OK with  that but have to do other side so…paid too much for one from the US.

Ive had 2 windscreens done on my Grancabrio – both insurance claims. The first one that had nothing about windscreens in the policy – I was living in HK and it cost near £4000 equivalent. Second time, they still hadn’t covered their behinds but managed to get it down to £2700 equivalent if I recall. Probably a £2000 job in the UK? Not sure, don’t want to find out! But again my (and yours?) insurance seems to have not covered themselves adequately.

The Lockton people are quite helpful with classic insurance specifically for Maserati and all replacement parts can be original. You can limit the miles etc. I found that they were quite accommodating albeit GBP600 a year for 6000 miles on this policy, not as cheap as others here but I don’t know their terms – the devil is in the detail. I have full no claims and am 49 years old for agreed value 40,000 I recall.

Lockton advertised in the Maserati mag for a while not sure if they still do.

At the risk of ruining the moment, Autoofficina in Epsom OK?
