Hi there folks...

hubby bought me a 3200GT Asseto Corsa - Manual (46/75) from Black & White...pics will follow

It has done 18000...few quick questions..

the oil pressure is always at max ie 100% of the dial all the time of the dial... is that right?

few slight noises when i am at low speed when i change coming from the gearbox...anything i should listen out for?

where is the best independent servicer of masers around London?

Picture added of my new car to my profile...finally i have mastered technology
!

it is silver with black leather and red piping...looks super!

Any other things i should know?

Hi, lucky you !

Oil pressure, usually at about 80% of gauge when idling then the moment you apply any gas it will go to full.

Is the car an auto, if so as it changes between 1st & 2nd at low speeds you can sometimes hear a click.

Enjoy!

what colour is it ?

Hi congrats on the car - Assettos are lovely

I use Verdis for servicing - they seem pretty competent and various people here use them without incident.

The manual gearbox can be a bit noisy and notchy between 1st and second when cold - once it's warmed up and been used a bit shoudl be smoother and quieter.

You may also notice the power steering pump working hard if you're going slowly on full steering lock - they all do that so not to worry - it's a juddery sort of noise!

If you don't have one you night want to consider a sports exhaust - sounds lovely!

Apart from that leave the sport button well alone if it rains and respect the car in the wet generally!

, oh yessssss!

Failing that find a place with loads of run off. Then switch traction control completley off. Stab the throttle a couple of times and you won't want to do it again :|

Love these cars.
