    Flushed the cooling system, inspected the water hoses, tightened clamps where needed and changed the oil and filter. Still waiting for those brake hoses...

    You say you put on ferrari center cap stickers....where did you get them? I put on new non-Ferrari wheels (brand: Enkei) and the center caps from my Mondial 8 Ferrari wheels do not fit on the new wheels (they are too narrow).

    One option is to put Ferrari decals on top of the center caps of my new wheels?

    Another would be to find some sort of center-cap adapter that enables me using the old more narrow center caps inside the new wider center cap space of my new wheels?

    Put on new sneaks... a nice set of XWX's. I haven't had XWX's since I got rid of the original set many years ago. The car looks so proper with these tires and I'm really glad I went with these rather than a substitute. Yep, still got the 14"s. I just really like the whole setup.

    News note: In setting up the alignment and suspension geometry, most of the adjustment was in the rear. I was thinking about this a bit and I realized that a few years ago, I took off the thermonuclear exhaust system and put on a lighter stainless exhaust. There was a considerable weight difference and I'm sure that this change put the rear setup out of whack. Something to think about for those who are changing out bits and pieces.

    XWXs are incredibly sticky tires these days....You'll be very happy with them. When they age, get rid of them pronto though...they become diabolical in the wet.

    Hi Daniel! Sorry for the late reply. Anyway I bought this stickers from eBay a couple of years ago from a seller in Canada but when I was trying to find him to order more, I couldn’t find him anymore. However, I found another seller that sells the same thing and what’s nice about this is you can get them in any size from 38mm to 89mm, scroll down to see the different sizes, here’s the link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/x5-Ferrari-Wheel-Center-Cap-LAMINATED-Vinyl-Decals-Stickers-Set/202206423068?_trkparms=aid=111001&algo=REC.SEED&ao=1&asc=51376&meid=7b20de3e3e0b43ef89d0eeec45a3c49c&pid=100675&rk=1&rkt=15&sd=202206423068&itm=202206423068&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci:d0a0013d-44bb-11e8-b873-74dbd180e514|parentrq:e3fca5e61620a61b03dd7083fffdb740|iid:1

    - Finally got the Magnaflow exhaust permanetly fitted thanks to a good nabour and his welding skills.
    - Brake hoses fitted and brakes bled

    Now I just hope that the air in the cooling system is the reason for its odd behaviour and not the thermostat.

    Managed to polish the valve stem caps, air the tires, and then place black plastic valve stem caps in place. The now polished chrome ones are in a bag in the box with other Ferrari stuff to do this Summer.

    Replaced the door switches - 1 non-functional, the other completely absent- (with Porsche units) and lights (with LED modules)... and finally, my door panel lights are working.

    On the road again after two years as a garage queen! Temperature spot on, oil pressure spot on, even the handbrake works. Everything was perfect! :)
