More than likely not this but how's the state of your battery? I know quite a few electrical faults like this on Ferraris from this era (and possibly newer but not sure) arise from the battery being sub-optimal and not supplying the required voltage. As an aside, apart from the electrics how do...

You forgot to add that when you sell someone out there will pay a premium for all of the above having been done so in truth you only pay for part of the "con" :D I do get originality in the right car; I'd far prefer a 246 with a 2.4 liter V6 than one of the V8 modded ones out there - if I...

Hi there. I no longer need them as my boys have grown a smidge - 6'2'' and 6'6 so I'm now just the shortest, but when I needed one a few years ago for the odd trip round the block in the 348 I had something like this...

Probably not that then I guess......

Sounds promising. Must confess, when I wanted to update my cats on the 348 I just went for a straight swap and took the OEM out and put in 200 cell Nouvalari cats. Vast improvement in emissions over the old tech. They don't look quite the same but they're very much tucked away so it doesn't...

All I can think of is a bad earth somewhere - too much of a coincidence for wipers to quit too. Do you have a workshop manual with wiring diagram in it?

😄 (Edit was just removing the link that muppet posted)

Could be wrong but I think that place is a reseller and don't actually make anything themselves. If I'm right it's actually made by these guys: https://classictravellingluggage.com/

Much better. Carbon is all well and good on the right type of car - generally looks fine on a 488 I think but I've seen it on 348s and older cars and I've never really liked that - but 'fake' carbon just looks like you're trying too hard. All imo and if others like Carbon wraps all fine, but if...

Hi all. Need to replace the floor mats in my 348 and am looking for any recommendations. Would prefer to buy from whoever is making the mat rather than a reseller if possible. I want the option of choosing colour etc and so far this looks like an ok bet...

I'm not sure that argument really holds water, Gordon. Idle is just an engine speed so in effect you'd be saying that before the oil is fully up to temp it's better for the parts in an engine to be moving quicker rather than slower. As far as not being good for an engine running while being...

While I agree with the sentiment I have to admit that having previously had a Nouvalari SuperSport on my 348 which is about as loud as they come (and you heard it I think, Simon) and used to occasionally set off the neighbour's car alarm just on start up, I've since changed it to far more...

I'm just getting the tag with no image or link to it. If Gordon sees them all perhaps it's my settings.

Hi Mark. Could be me but not seeing any of the images you've posted to the last 2 posts, just what look like links to them but with no hyperlink attached. I can see Mark's picture of his Cube in the post between your though. Could be just me or could be how you're inserting them. If you're using...

Hi Tom. I also wouldn't start it, run it for a few mins then turn it off again. If you're going to do it I'd run it long enough to get everything fully up to temperature. It takes at least 20 mins for the oil to get hot in my car and in the winter I run her for about 30 mins just to be sure...

I do much the same as you in terms of storage, Malc, and once a month I warm her up until fans all kick in and cool her down again so they have been turned over, use all the motors and solenoids such as the pop up lights, windows, fuel flap etc. and move her forwards and backwards leaving tyres...

That's certainly refreshing :)

Regarding recolouring the leather, to make it darker can be done quite successfully (ie cream to tan which I have considered as cream is a PITA to keep clean, but red/cream does sell easily so I have held off) but going the other way such as from red to cream is much more difficult. My guess is...

Generally speaking red Ferraris hold a premium over other colours simply because they are easier to sell. There's quite a few people who don't want red, in fact you get some people who say they'd have anything but red as it's too 'shouty' (although if you want to blend in and not be noticed...

In answer to your question when I went looking I wasn't set on which model I wanted so drove several different models. The advice back then was to drive the cars and there wasn't a huge issue doing it in most cases. That said the market was very slow and prices were cheap - you could pick up a...
