Nice looking car that :thumbsup:
Just want to chime in on the 'Low mileage' thing. I rarely drive my '07 F430 F1 and probably do 600-1000 miles a year and most of that is short runs.
I've had a slight whistling noise since about March, which I thought was an intake whistle as it was only really under acceleration.
I also used to get a flashing 4th gear indicator when driving and I was told it could be crap on the release bearing and to drive it more, but nothing was noticed at service time.
Then in November the car went in to neutral whilst driving and EML came on I could still drive it, but it was NOT happy.
So in to the dealer and it turns out the release bearing was sticking and pushing on the clutch.
In March wear was around 76% in November - 600 miles later it was 91% so it had worn the clutch out.
and due to the heat build up I also needed a flywheel. Then when I got home I then had an oil leak and found the crank seal had gone. Luckily they did this FOC as we discussed changing it at the time but the tech said it looked OK. Had I found this 6 months later it would have all been out again!
Main thing I was gutted about was that I always said if I needed a clutch I'd do a launch control, but we reckoned that the way the bearing was and the high wear it may do more damage FFS!
Although I did get a tie rod and ball joint done under warranty at the same time, so a bit of a brucey bonus.
This is the perfect example of why these cars are designed to be driven. Now you have the low mileage, use it as an excuse to not worry about putting a few miles on it.
I also think the thing with suspension bushes and track rod ends etc, will affect these car regardless of miles. I have a track rod end that needs replacing and it's only been on just over 2 years but the rubber boot has perished. Also the rubber on the flamblocks are starting to crack and they were done at the same time. It's just the crap Ferrari use to make the bushes, but I've never seen polybushes for these cars, which would be perfect.
Enjoy the car other than the above, I've not had to spend anything on mine in 2 years aside from servicing, but it bit me in the ar*e with the clutch.
