    Ok Adrian it will work on your car......This is what you do....
    1. Turn your Battery Isolater switch off for 30 minutes.
    2.Turn Isolater back on with no electrical loads ( radio, lights etc all off ).
    3. Start your car and let it idle for 5 minutes ( no reving ).
    4.Then engage 1st gear with foot on the brake and hold for 5 minutes.
    5.Turn car off. ( This is a full clutch reset )
    6 Having a beer during the process......optional.....:)

    It's usually to do with capacitive retention but what would I know, I've just got a dumb 355 with no driver aids :)

    Mate, lots of extra little computers to control the engine/drivetrain/brakes/etc which the 355 doesn't have

    Basically with the 355 they gave you 400hp (well mine does ) 6 speed manual (for those that want fast gear changes), stiff suspension (challenges ) and huge brakes (ABS can be turned off) ............ point you at the road or track and said it's all up to you how you get around

    That's the official Gumball, ours is NFP

    And the official Gumball accident was a couple of Japanese dentists killing a couple of race officials at a checkpoint because they were weekend warriors playing Michael Schumacher

    Fixed.

    Just got an email saying that the Tailem Bend track has been confirmed for the FCA event in October.
    Do try not to lose your licence before then...
