Maserati 3200 GT parts, servicing, manuals
Discussion
Hi. I am very excited to have just bought a 3200GT, 2000 year. I am new to the marque and slowly working my way round doing bits.
Unfortunately, I don't have any manuals at all and I'm finding it slow and difficult. Normally, one can find almost anything with a Google, but there appears to be little on this car.
Does anyone have recommendations for advice, diagrams and books etc to help get me started? Also, being new to PH, I'd be happy to be pointed to anything I've missed!
With thanks, Hesk

This is quite a lively place that may help with more specific information http://www.sportsmaserati.com/index.php
There are workshop manuals around - the chaps on the SportsMaserati forum will help you. Since you have a GT (as opposed to a GTA) then have you checked the end float? If not then that's the first thing I would look at as excessive float will write the car off.
I don't know if you're aware but parts supply on this tipo is getting very difficult. I recently tried to source a rear upper wishbone for a client - the factory ran out years ago. There is a chap who has a stock of used parts but after receiving one from him that was cracked, he looked at his other 9 and reported that they were cracked too. We ended up getting the old one welded which isn't ideal but the only way to keep the car on the road.

Hi, a great car, but they do like to be used. A lot off the issues stem from inactivity. It has the potential for a few troublesome items. Wishbones, as has been mentioned, throttle body, pedal pot can also play up but contactless upgrades are available and worthwhile.Suspension actuators can throw an odd ERROR light or two. That said, I had a 2001 car loved it,used it, and other than a burst turbo coolant pipe, and a few CELs prior to changing the pedal pot it was great. Had it round Europe 3000 mile round trip, epic. I sold it in April after 6 years of great memories.
