Maybe a silly suggestion, but check to make the sure the grip isn't slipping off, in which case you can't depress the button enough. Happened to me.
Jon, if you're going to buy, I'm right here in NYC. Mighty curious.
From what I remember, break squeal isn't caused by contact between the pad and the rotor, but between the caliper and the pad backing--metal to...
That car belongs with you. Take good care.
Do a search on the threads. There's a pattern of wear on the under-hood insulation that indicates a mount problem. Very conspicuous--I should know.
You'll see two skinny braided stainless steel coaxial cables about halfway back. They come out of of thermocouples fitted into in the cats. Any...
on this subject. Run it through the computer and see what comes up. The light indicates a hot cat, but it probably isn't. More likely a...
No-I only meant that as we seem to be in free fall, and I'm hanging on to my hat with both hands, I'm suffering a slight case of buyer's remorse....
I know many of you Ferrari owners and would-be owners are worried right now and some are probably wondering how we got into this mess. I just want...
Easy to check. P1445 indicates something amiss in the cat sensor/ECU circuit. If it's been driven for two years, it's probably not a hot cat. My...
Speaking of supply and demand. I haven't seen one since mine (a silver 97 in NJ) and the red 97 on Hemmings, which is gone. Not just a rhetorical...
I know this has been gone over and over. I've got a slow down light and a P1445 code on a 97 Maranello--indicates cat sensor problem, wiring...
I've asked before, but does anybody have a semi-permanent way to hang a license plate on the front of a 550? Preferably one that doesn't poke...
I haven't done anything about it yet because it's intermittent--only hot days, only heavy traffic. Curious, though, why the two different fans?
for less than that. It's a plain Jane car, 97/24,000, silver/black, (you know the one) reputed to be a driver but turned out to be pretty much...
and no. I had an experienced mechanic in the region, recommended by the Ferrari club, ready to check it out. He called the dealer, knew the...
I just drove up from south Jersey in a 97 550 I bought down there. The car ran very close to red in heavy traffic, stopped, or slogging along at...
Seeing what seemed to be a pronounced dip in the market, I had been looking to buy a 550 for several months and just did. Ive also been lurking...
I'll try to get some pics up when the Tohubohu plates are on. Meanwhile I much appreciate the plate advice. I guess I'll try to hang it under the...
Just drove it up from Jersey, 100 or so miles--absolutely magnificent. It was even great in traffic, although, being unused to the temperature...
