Hi Ian, the gear on the damper top is ok. Had another look today and it’s the black plastic frame inside, the bit that holds the centre brown plastic...

From my experience it’s more likely to just be the gear underneath the actuator If you can hear the motor working when you first turn the ignition...

£6k is only if you don’t do the premium programme. If you do then the Classiche accreditation is £1k.

Makes more sense if that’s what it is. I already get this service from Stratstone as they always advise me if there is an upgraded part available...

£6k for classiche :laugh::laugh::laugh: You need to shop around; they are taking the piss with you. But then there is poetry there for driving so...

All sounds interesting, Giles. Interested to see where this goes as my car’s getting on a bit so maybe something I’d look at in the future.

This is exactly what I’m now doing. The rational for many considering the premium programme and Classiche will be wide ranging. For example (and...

The Premium programme seems closer to what I may be interested in at some point in the future, not keen on putting things like inefficient,...

What you are describing is what the premium programme is, it’s making the car more reliable by changing many of the perishable components like hoses...

The 100% originality issue is where I depart from the factory because almost every tipo has an inherent flaw or two in the design. For the F430 the...

Patina is ok, being concourse is not part of the certification. Exhaust needs to be original as do all parts. For example I have some silicon hoses...

At least you got a drive out; just surprised at the distance for a non essential “health check” to get a freebie in the current times and rules?!? ...

Enjoyed that, thanks :thumbsup:

How does the Classiche scheme view patina? Genuinely interested as I'd always thought Classiche was just for the Concours d'Elegance mob but I...

Yep. Sure cost will come down when competitors enter the market. Sorry for off topic but saw this clip which shows a brief clip of the factory,...

Yep, Meridian Modena, good outfit there. My local dealer are yet accredited on the Classiche scheme yet, which is something I’m considering, but more...

A good watch; thanks for posting up! Just love the sound of the 250, tdf and fxxk! Can’t wait to get let out and do some driving:thumbsup:

That’s Lyndhurst isn’t it; miles from you! Would have thought one of the more local dealers would do that, but very surprised they are doing that...

I also was told a 812 GTS lost the back end in the same week and is now in the body shop!

Did he not see the wet setting on the Manatino? OH. and the torrential rain so might be a good idea to take it easy in a 789bhp car regardless. ...

Watched the clip, looks good, range is okay too for what it is. Better than a boat - looks expensive based on the number of staff involved and...

Something surprising today, a trip to the main dealer for a freebie. As part of the ‘Ferrari with you’ programme which gives you free breakdown...

I'm sure it's a matter of perspective - next to a nicely trimmed car I'm sure they're not. But you must admit, they've come a long way with aircraft...

You can't really blame the storm though can you.
