Hi I have removed the spark plugs from my 355 to check as they are two years old and the tick over was a bit uneven. checked the resistance seems to vary between 3.2K and 5K all eight are different, is this normal or is this an indication that the plugs are on the way out? A spark plug...

Hi I have just had a conversation with a main Ferrari dealer about getting my pin code from Ferrari, he has been on to the factory they told him that fobs are coded to the car chassis number, therefore you cannot take any 355 UK fob and using your pin program your car to use it. as a result...
