I once sent my apprentice to the stores for a yard of Fallopian tube. The bloke in the stores actually phoned Ferrari U.K. as he couldn’t find it on his computer!!!

been there. I sold a F308 carb 22 years ago for £9k. It was a bit of a dog, however. Or perhaps the 190 cossie EVO that got sold for a princely £6k. Ah well......

DB6’s in Vantage spec, with decent provenance which includes having inner and outer sills replaced properly and a raft of history are fetching £380-400. A few completely outstanding examples have fetched a little more in auction rooms a year or more ago. We currently have two in build for...

Even if you could build a switch matrix capable of linking to your car remotely, (you couldnt, only an OBD based one=useless) how much would you be willing to pay for it? You’d have to sell a LOAD of them even to pay for construction cost. Furthermore, how much would you be willing to pay a...

Craig, I've heard of one case. The guy had huge heavy aftermarket wheels with ultra-low profiles and they were blamed. Not heard of a TSB but I'll check tommorow and let you know...

Early qp IV, they come in a mixed bag of ratios so worth checking those...

It’s not that easy I’m afraid. The main problem would be the interface. Readily available ones are generic OBD only. You would have to build a bespoke cable then a pass thru box. Added to which the unpacked SD files wouldn’t operate without an SD unit without totally re-writing them. The SD will...

So you'll need a decent used/ new crank, gaskets, a few valves, some shells, cap bolts and a bit of labour. What were you quoted, and what was the reason they diagnosed as the failure cause? Bear in mind non-matching numbers caused by used engine swaps will be detrimental to resale....

I had a specialist garage there for seven years, we did Most if the islands sports/super cars. It was called platinum supercars, based in Dali.

Yes there are three companies that are currently able to repair/renew timed out units that I'm aware of. The issue is most of the units that have timers only work in “standalone†mode, which means anything pre-4200 doesn't work. Two of the senior engineers that developed SD3 went on to...

Not saying a word....forum rules and all that! ;)

Χαίρετε George! I used to live over the water from you in lefkosia, Cyprus! Lots of 222 era cars on that island!

The SD3 doesn't link to the internet unless you are a dealer linked to red or blue online. Most of them bought outside the dealer network came with a limited service life and were unable to perform tasks linked to PC, which renders them useless on the older cars. I paid £25k for mine many years...

Yes those are a bit pricey! ;) love the HGTE variant. Congrats, you have a mighty fine and VERY rare car there!!! We have a HGTE that needs the all four shocks doing. Plus the joints. And front discs. Ouch!

I’m just about to become a sponsor on here (next week, hopefully!) but I don’t want to breach any forum rules at the minute!

599’s are epic. We’ve sold a fair few. Expect to spend a few quid on ball joints regularly, they are the same as used in 369/430 f cars. The hill engineering replacements last longer than the crappy overpriced Ferrari ones!! Common issues are oil leaks from the front cover (that’s £1500 to sort...

I own a Cerbera 4.5 red rose, makes 518 hp. I wholeheartedly agree with your friend. Mine regularly tries to kill me in the dry. Lots of poo would come out if I tried driving it in the rain.....
