Following on from my post on replacing the cut off switch, I thought it would be a good idea to cut a failed one open to see what was inside and try to determine the mode of failure. Here’s the switch looking fairly ordinary…
Anyone hoping that last months drop in average price was going to last will be disappointed – the average asking price of the Ferrari 360 has increased by an astonishing 6.5% from last month. The price index now stands at 133.81. It will be interesting to see what the repercussions of the rout in global equities … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (September 2015)
Since the battery is fitted behind a piece of trim in the cabin, Ferrari helpfully fitted a battery isolator switch in the front compartment.

There is a lot of debate over the frequency that the timing belts should be renewed on a Ferrari. For the record, Ferrari mandate new timing belts every three years for all V8 models (not applicable to cars with the F136 chain driven engine).

For those of you who don’t follow the UK market, the car in question is an ultra low mileage spider offered at an eyewatering £140k. And that’s after a £30k price reduction in the last 24 … More Ferrari 360 Market Watch (May 2015)
Like many other high performance cars, modern Ferraris are fitted with separate handbrake calipers in addition to the main rear braking calipers. This allows the much more powerful brakes to be fitted, in fact the non-CCM 360 and F430 use the same 4-pot calipers front and rear (the bias is different though). Another useful by-product … More Ferrari 360 & F430 Handbrake Pads
The UK Ferrari 360 market remains very buoyant. From looking at the data, talking to dealers and being involved with transactions it is very apparent to me that the 360 market is hot.
