You will also need copper washers for the fuel pipes 4 x 14330260 @ 11p each and 2 x 10260160 x 2 @ 16p MW Mark Rolf (Markrolf) New member Username: Markrolf Post Number: 15 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 7:10 am:    Thanks Malcolm, I assume that Ferrari Uk have a good supply of these parts ? Are they relatively easy to fit?

However it is still worthwhile checking the fuel pressure, you need to take readings with the plug removed and with the plug connected, with ignition on, also there are readings to be taken applying a vacuum to the unit. You should be able to get the required data on the Bosh website MW Mark Rolf (Markrolf) New member Username: Markrolf Post Number: 14 Registered: 7-2003 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 6:48 am:    Mark, Thanks, that would be great if you could let me have the info. BTW nice looking 355 ! MarkM (Zan) Junior Member Username: Zan Post Number: 78 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 6:40 am:    Thats a warm up regulator. It sets the fuel system pressure. You should check your fuel pressure with a gauge and check with WSM specs. I have specs on the regulator at home and can send to you tonight when I get home if you need them.

I have narrowed it down to this part. Basically if I swap the two blue leads I can get the car to start but it runs very bad and dies. On replacing them back to their correct places the car will start (nearly) normally. I would like to know if I need to buy a new part or if this part can be stripped and repaired.
