Hi All, Just thought I'd close this thread out with a final update. For those that are stubborn and persistent like me, and want to keep their OEM...
Yes agree. Bosch make quality products. I've got OEM Bosch starters on other cars that are 40 years old and have never needed work! Why not so on...
Hi All, so this starter solenoid thing has been a real rabbit warren! Lots of solenoids are very close to my original Ferrari (Bosch) unit. There...
Correct, my QV had nothing connected to terminal 15a. I based the 308/Testarossa starter comment on Superformance showing the same PN for both on...
Thanks Steve ... you are a legend! I also didn't know the 308 and Testarossa share the same starters!!! Your leads above also enabled me to find...
Hi Steve, that's what I would have thought. Why would Bosch design a unique solenoid for a low volume production car? But I struggled to find a...
You can get the correct switch from Superformance, then it's just plug and play :) Cheers, BB [ATTACH]
Depending "how much Euro" you want to go, you can go down this route. Not sure why whey don't do the rear bumper? But I'm sure you could just copy...

Hello, Has anyone ever tried pulling apart the starter solenoid (Bosch) as fitted to 308QV's? My starter is playing up, intermittently I just get...
Hi All, I rebuilt my rear calipers over the holidays as they leaked when I went to adjust the handbrake! Anyway, all rebuilt now, but I wanted...
Hi All, thanks for your advise. For future reference and to close this post out I made a custom tool. Regular spanners or sockets wouldn't do the...
I don't believe CV joints get that hot. Maybe Nyloc's didn't exist in the early 80s? In fact, I can't ever remember seeing Nyloc nuts fitted to...
Yes I could try that, but I've replaced the oil cooler before, its also not the easiest thing to get out and can be easily damaged :( I think that...
Hi All, thanks for your replies, but not that simple. RE: crowsfoot - I've got a set and the thickness of the foot does not allow it to fit the...
Merry Xmas all .... As a Xmas present to myself I ended up buying some new engine mounts for my 308QV. Just wondering how others who've done this...
Thanks Richard. I forgot about that, its been a while since I've ordered anything from OS. Seems they've got their hands in our pocket at every...
Thanks for your reply, I'm not sure I consider $1200 AUD for a set of engine mounts "cheap" Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places
Here is the rear LHS for reference. [ATTACH]
