ParticipantHi Ian,
Welcome, we have a number of WhatsApp groups. Not sure of the nearest one to you.
If you like to join the general owners WhatsApp group as a start send me you number to 07973 619499 & I’ll arrange for you to be added

ParticipantHi Vaughan,
Before proceeding, I would ask that Sytner/Maserati provide:
Measured disc runout and thickness variation vs tolerance
Confirmation whether your VIN has been assessed against Rapid Update 814.
Clarification why this is considered wear given the low mileage and usage profile
given the symptoms align with a known manufacturing update, as I would expect this to be considered under defect rather than wear.You might want to consider writing to Maserati direct as goodwill decisions are made centrally.
You can also consider telling them, you will arrange an independent inspection to obtain an objective technical assessment.
Both the AA & RAC can do this.
I think you are in a good position as, low mileage, light usage, known Maserati update & at this point no technical evidence from dealer.
Sadly, this is all time consuming.

ParticipantHello, have they told you how they came to this conclusion.
Most likely: DTV / uneven pad deposits (very common)
Possibly worsened by:
Light usage
Stop-start driving
Car sittingDo you know if they checked the Hub cleanliness, caliper operation or Pad condition / glazing.
Warped disks are very rare.

ParticipantI think the easiest option is buy 4-pin CTEK Comfort Connect adapter lead, then plug your maintainer into the CTEK Comfort connector (or add a small CTEK?SAE adapter if your trickle charger is SAE 2-pin).

ParticipantUsed ones come up rarely, you could try refurbishing the ones you have.
Which model and year do you have
Tony Jaskeran
ParticipantI’ve been using the CTEK MXS 5.0 for years and have two. No problems at all, I keep them on a timer for a few hours a day.
I also use the non croc connectors that attach direct to the battery bolts permanently.
