Good to see this filling up, & yes a few older cars would make a lovely selection.

I guess with the suite there won’t be the club marquee.

Thanks Antony, do you know how he knew your email address.

Was he an individual or representing a fake company.

Thanks

Hi Maurice,

You could try https://abacusalarms.co.uk/re-coding-meta-alarms/maserati.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com

The immobiliser transponder can usually still be cloned or programmed.
The complex part is getting:
the remote locking to work correctly, and
integration with the factory alarm/Meta system.

Let us know how you get on.

A fantastic outcome Vaughan,

& well done for pursuing the dealer and Maserati.

I’ve updated the tag so others can search and find the thread.

Thanks for the feedback, we need good reputable and enthusiastic indies. Outside of London there are not that many so this makes good reading.

If you ever get the suspension maintained post up your experience as GTs are heavy and a few owners have experienced very highly repairs quotes and costs.

I’ve tagged this thread as Staffordshire Servicing for future reference.

Thanks Lee, have Brands Hatch told you yet where the parking will be.

[Tony Jaskeran]

Thanks Antony, not heard of them before. Good to know members have an option there.

Could you let us know what you had done, service or repairs.

thanks

Hi 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

Hi 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.

[Tony Jaskeran]

Hello, 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 sitting

Do you know if they checked the  Hub cleanliness, caliper operation or Pad condition / glazing.

Warped disks are very rare.

I 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).

Have you tried

or

[Tony Jaskeran]

Used ones come up rarely, you could try refurbishing the ones you have.

Which model and year do you have

[Tony Jaskeran]

I’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.
