    Water dripping from Front passengers wheel arch.

    Hi, Took the car out last night for about half hour and didnt drive it hard at all and then parked up. Hadnt rained all day, but when I parked up I noticed a little puddle on the floor and dripping from the back of the front passenger wheel arch. It was just water as it had no chemical look or...

    How come we never see...

    Unfortunately most of these cars are not used for the right purpose. They are rarely driven, just wanted to be seen in on a sunny day. Being most peoples dream car, most Ferraris have had over 10 owners...

    Attempting to improve the Gear shift

    I was in and out in two hours and that was doing the gearbox and the clutch slave cylinder. The clutch is apparently uses the same servo as the brakes so technically its just a brake bleed. Took him two hours but that included the really tough brake nipples to undo. Says hes done the job many...

    Attempting to improve the Gear shift

    Bonjour, Sometimes really struggling to get the 197 in gear from cold and am finding gearchanges in all gears now particularly notchy especially on the way up.

    Dented bonnet...great!

    Thats B0llox - I mean who the hell drinks Tango anyway. Like mentioned in this thread all his drivers must be covered under some form of pooled insurance whether on a moped/car, premises or on a customers property. The fact that the guy has fobbed you off then offered to pay in cash when you...

    Rough cost on single storey extension?

    I paid £40k for my 3m x 6m wide extension on the back of the house, but that does include two internal walls down, two massive steels and £4k for a set of 5 big panes of bi folds and the rear patio sorted. Love it

    Notchy gear box?? Clutch feel funny??

    Sorry to hijack this thread but would be grateful if you could advise the exact/best gearbox oil I should go for. I believe it is Fuchs but not sure which type. Think I still have some 5.1 AP brake fluid that I ran on my Scooby. Thanks

    Tidied up ma Lady's Touche - Spot the difference...

    Got to admit I really didnt like the look of the original Renault Sport lettering, or it completely debadged. The four stages - original + dirty, clean and debadged, new RS badge to match the calipers and lastly with the sprint spoiler which finishes the car off nicely and should really come as...
