    456GTA M Pop-up Headlights Fail

    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?

    New 488 owner

    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/

    Giles’ 488 Scrapbook

    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...

    Replacement Floor Mats

    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...

    How do you store yours

    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...

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    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...

    F430 New owner diary inc. maintenance & upgrades

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

    F430 New owner diary inc. maintenance & upgrades

    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...

    How do you store yours

    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...

    How do you store yours

    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...

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    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...

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    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...

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    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...

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    I don't know, Jos. There has always ben a time limit on the edit for users but if you want an edit, send me a pm and I'll edit the post for you.

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    Keep it under your hat about there being some good roads here! No one else knows yet and we'd really like to keep it that way :D

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    I can see why you're frustrated. Biggest issue I had was cars being advertised as "immaculate" and "perfect" with FFSH (which I've never seen on an older car) and being far from that. Living in the depths of rural Lincolnshire I was often driving a good distance as well - on one occasion having...

    How do you buy a Ferrari ?

    Hi and welcome to CS. I'm quite surprised you've been unable to drive the cars, like you I certainly wouldn't buy from a dealer unless I had. Are you looking at cars at dealers who tend to specialise in Ferraris or at car dealers where they sell all sorts and the 1 or 2 Ferraris they have are...

    My 458

    Great looking car. I actually think black wheels rims look ok on the right car - on your motor I don't think they look bad at all. Think it's down to the fact they 'match in' well with the roof. Gold may be a bit much IMO but I could be wrong, would really need to see a car in the same colours...
