Haha, well to his face I have to, lol.😁
He's very happy with his 360 and looks great too!
5 years in now.....
£117.67 Engine mounts and some spare wheel centres
£26.86 Front boot membrane
£1777 AE Performance - Full mileage based major service, install engine mounts, couple of other bits and bobs.
£35 MOT. No advisories
£120.79 New AGM battery
£96.99 eBay purchase - spare OEM exhaust (silencer damaged being delivered but outlet pipes and valves like new)
£23.19 Spare actuator position switches
£15 Service continuation book
£125.25 Android tablet, Bluetooth adaptor, diagnostic software
Grand Total £2337.96 exc RFL, insurance and fuel.
Mileage between MOT's 3530. Currently has ~40800 miles and 13k is my ownership.
Clutch wear -3%! (down not up)
Car needs a new set of tyres before we go to Europe in July. I would really like a racing exhaust if anyone knows of one for sale. I've tried a few leads but they went nowhere.
Costs overall pretty consistent with previous years......
Year 6 complete in a few days...…Wow!
Total maintenance spend £3551.09
Main items
Annual 2 plus a few bits and bobs was £666. Maybe a waste as I dropped the engine and trans oil out 400 miles later
Titanium wheel bolts £256
£900 on a clutch that is in my spares cabinet as it wasn't needed but Ferrari have hiked the price of a lot of parts at the end of 2017 so worth stocking.
£212 for HE gearbox bush extraction and clutch alignment tools.
£114 of trans oil
£40.55 on engine oil
£29 on 2 litres of Tutella CS speed F1 oil.
£110 on 2 rear outer light units
£300 on tyres.
£130 on refurbishing a used silencer.
£35 MOT
The rest was on a release bearing and various fixings, materials and parts for the release bearing change.
Mileage has been over 5000 in the last 12 months. I bought it with 28k now approaching 46k. It runs better than ever and I've had no real issues with it, not even a CEL.
Clutch wear is no different than last year circa 30%
Fuel costs were £1113.90 not included in the above.
I've just reinsured it today with three others cars through Chubb Masterpiece (AIB) so at least one of my kids can drive it. Expensive but well worth it.
Overall, if you look at the absolute necessity it could have been about a £1000. A lot of the spend has been improving the car.
I'm actually considering doing an annual myself this year and leave it to the major next year for belts and a full indy service.
Winter work will be a front suspension refresh (unless I can find a silver 458 ;))

you have got off lightly! my last year bill before selling was £8000 albeit £1500 was to correct some paint corrosion on the rear 3/4 panel, cambelt change, ball joints etc. etc.
the year before I broke the syncromesh on 3rd gear - apparently a weak point on the manual... that was near enough £3k as it was 18 hrs labour!
I did enjoy mine but I certainly had some big costs in the 4 yrs I had mine.
