I decided to swap out the spark plugs in my new (to me) F430. The car had spent the entire winter being moved between my house and one a few doors down (due to building work). It had only been driven when the car over fuels on start up so I wanted to get fresh … More Ferrari F430 Spark Plug Change
It finally feels like we’re turning a corner weather wise in the UK which should herald the start of the driving season and hopefully increased activity in the used Ferrari market over here. Average asking prices have risen 0.59% MoM which leaves the AV360PI index at 102.53. The number of cars for sale has also … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (Mar14)
Time to put my money where my mouth is – one piece of advice that I dispense to people who have bought a new (to them) Ferrari is to replace the battery since I firmly believe that the cornerstone to worry free motoring in a modern Ferrari is a solid power supply. These cars are … More Ferrari F430 Battery Replacement
A very brief update this month as very little seems to have happened in the UK market. Average asking prices have softened an insignificant 0.06% which leaves the price index at 101.93 (vs 101.99 in Jan). I can’t say that I’m surprised at this time of the year has got to be the quietest for … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (Feb14)
The few times that I’ve been able to drive my car I have managed to catch some rain on each outing. This exposed just how poor the wipers that were fitted to the car were – they weren’t the OEM parts and the rubbers were perished. Sods law is that now I’ve fitted new wiper … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Wiper Blades
Happy New Year! I would like to begin by wishing everyone the very best for 2014. 2013 was a bit of a disaster for me, car wise, so I am really looking forward to getting out and about with in my new wheels once the weather improves. The AV360PI has actually increased 4.35% MoM and … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (Jan14)
A big thanks to fellow Ferrari owner Nigel Cox for this update. The track rod ends fitted to the 360/F430/599 models are prone to wearing out and introduce play into the steering. This has happened to pretty much everyone I know and now I know the reason why. In the past the only recourse was … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Track Rod Ends
First of all I must apologise for not posting this sooner. Although I extracted the data on the 1st December, I have been busy finishing off an extension to my house after promising my family we’d be in for Christmas. Before the data, a few links. I have threads running on Pistonheads for both F430 … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (Dec13)
The new owners of my car, Berlinetta Cars, have started the restoration and have decided to detail the process. Head over to Club Scuderia for more pictures: Click Me
This is something that I’ve been meaning to write about for a while – the exhaust silencer (muffler) fitted to the 360 is quite a piece of engineering. The silencer does a great job of keeping the sound levels down, that is until the exhaust tip valves open and then the full glory of the … More Ferrari 360 Exhaust Silencer
