    OK, that's humidity, now put up one with rain ............... we classify rain as not being able to see across the canal, but kudos for taking it out in the rain

    The gumball tyres on the 355 make it susceptible to constant aquaplaning

    2003, the second generation semi auto. 430 was a big step forward.

    But it doesn't change the reality that a system that depends on multiple switches, sensors and cpu's, subject to heat, cold and moisture is eventually going to fail. Murphy's law says that it will happen at the worst possible time.

    A clutch pedal, a gear lever and a nut behind the steering wheel is all I need :)

    75k km, never had an issue with the F1. Still has the original clutch, wear is at 50%

    I think you're issue is your mechanic, I've said it before, I'll never use an independent again

    Hmm I think I can relate to spending a wad of cash on a Ferrari only to have it fail as you were expecting it to shine! :(.
    Bad luck again Adrian.

    Thanks Simon, I still love ferrari, a young man in a Nissan 200zx helped me push our car across a huge junction to safely yesterday evening with trucks roaring by at around 10.30pm in the rain [emoji299]️
    He couldn’t stop smiling and had to take photographs of himself with the beautiful broken down Ferrari, that kid will remember that rainy evening for ever, so will Seela and I, we’ll tell our grandchildren about it one day I’m sure [emoji4]

    What exactly happened, Adrian?
    I may be able to help after what I went through.

    Your biggest hurdle is finding someone who actually knows what they’re doing, rather than pretends they know what they’re doing…

    I must admit all my cars go to the dealers except the Sebring, which I don't think anyone at Maserati would know about it :)
