    F1 R27 Wheel Paint Code?

    Does anyone have the paint code for the graphite/grey wheels on the F1? I’m having a set refurbed for my car and would ideally like to get them colour matched so the wheel centres don’t look out of place. I’m guessing wheel centres are still obtainable? Pic for attention but not mine! Sent...

    Service Message Switch Off?

    Thanks but unfortunately this hasn’t worked. I’ve tried it with both the key card in the slot, and without and both with the engine running and without. The message just either sits (with both stalk buttons pressed) or goes back to ‘PRESS BRAKE+START’ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Service Message Switch Off?

    Hi, I’ve just serviced my 197 myself and wanted to find out if it’s possible to reset the ‘service due’ message on the dash? Or is this a dealer or indy requirement? Is there any ODB software that will do it. I have one of those cheaper ODB readers, but I’m not sure if it will input anything, I...

    Coil bolts, help please.....

    Thanks for the tips. It’s the coil nearest to the oil filler cap that’s the issue. The one which also holds a sensor with the same bolt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Coil bolts, help please.....

    I’ve just had this problem today. Hoping to try a longer bolt to see if it will hold it, otherwise I’ll be going down the helicoil route

    Threaded stick coil mount

    Has anyone ever had this problem? I changed the spark plugs today and all was going well until the last one next to the oil filler cap. I’m guessing someone has cross threaded it at some point and now the 8mm mounting bolt is just turning, not tightening and the stick coil is loose. Is it...

    Engine Temperature

    Looking through the forum history it seems like this was raised by a previous owner of my car. No: 129 F1 R27. the temp gauge never gets above the first mark on the gauge even on a long run, which to me suggests the thermostat is not working correctly. Would anyone else agree with this, or is...

    Rear Wheel Arch Liners

    thanks, I think mine are just damaged right at the back. Looks like uneven holes punched through them, I need to take the rear wheels off and have a proper look. Ive only had the car a week and just noticed them.

    Rear Wheel Arch Liners

    Has anyone ever replaced inner rear wheel arch liners? Are they specific to the 197? Common fitment on 197/200? Or is just one of those things where I need to order genuine parts. Mine are smashed to bits on both sides.
