I'm straned

So I decide to take my car out on a nice day. 30 minutes in and the gearbox light or f1 light shines, no gears but she starts and that it. Won't shift into gear or anything. No cel either.
Tow trucks on the way.
Any clues where to start. I'm 50 and have never been stranded! Oh well..

 

Sucks alright.
So I get home and the truck is tilted Si I can roll her off and the light went out and shifted normally. Get onto the flat and its on again .
I'm picking this isn't much hopefully.
The joys......

 

I checked the fuses, checked the relay for the F1 and they're all good.
Checked the fluid and if anything there was too much so I took a bit out, not much though.
I just realised there is no pump noise when I open the door.
I'm guessing now it's going to be bad. That might just be my negative nature when it comes to Ferrari.
Not sure where to go to from here.
Not a great day.

 

Thanks for that link.
I also understand it's the same part as an Alfa Selespeed, which are half the price of one with Ferrari written on the box. It looks exactly the same.
I tested the contact and it seems to be getting 12 volts.
The decision now is to either take a punt and order the part from somewhere, or flat bed the car to Auckland and wear what will likely be a huge bill.

FYI the pump has been played with before, because one of the screws holding the thing together is different. Maybe someone rebuild the piece of junk pump at some point.

Worth taking the punt?

 

I took the pump out before work this morning and ran a meter across the terminals.
She's toast.
I dropped it to a mate who will have a look and see if he can put some new brushes in as an interim while I wait for the Alfa part to arrive. Which by the way is 1/3 the price for the identical part.
When will Ferrari wake up.
But I'm hopeful the pump motor is the issue. I should know tonight.

 

Here you go.
51736315 is the genuine part number.
It's 195 pounds plus 30 shipping. To buy it here from Alfa is $1170NZ. Nuts.

 

Hand in pocket. Who needs AA when you own a Ferrari!
It was a good 60ks from home. He charged me $180 which I thought was really cheap.

 

This would be the easiest job I have ever done on my car.
Pull the RH side engine cover off, take off the heat shield, find the pump right there,
undo the two hex screws and 3 10mm bolts, unplug the connector and the motor comes away.
I'm not doing the pump, only the motor. See how it goes.

 

I sold it. That's what the update is.

It will be missed for sure, but having a car just die without any warning, on the side of the road just really got too me.
The people that drove past and honked there horns and were laughing at me was the last straw. I will be honest, it was embarrassing. Especially when the tow truck arrived.
