The battery is the original 2006, I think it probably needs to be replaced. I did manage to get the battery out, though, which is a plus. Do I...
I woke up this morning to a dead battery in my 430. The instrument panel still lights up and radio turns on, but the engine won't turn over. I...
I would definitely come to this if it wasn't so early in the morning. I don't think anything could get me out of bed at 6-7am on a Saturday.
Haha thanks. :) Could it be the clutch overheat warning? That would sort of make sense... and after searching on this board for like two hours...
Yet another question as a new F430 owner. One of the problems with having a Ferrari is that it's almost impossible to just google these sorts of...
Just wanted to throw in my two cents here... I've been to Providence 3 times now and gotten the Chef's Special each time and it has...
Yep, that's exactly what happened. $400 for all of it - locating, repairing the wires, etc. Seemed pretty reasonable to me! Glad to have my...
Well, this took a strange turn... Finally got a call back from my shop - the lights were totally unrelated to the smog check, it was just a...
Just to update... Took it to my local shop (Independent Ferrari expert) and he hasn't been able to clear it from the computer. Even...
Yeah, that's what I'm planning on doing, except the local Ferrari dealer isn't so local and given the dire warnings in the manual I'm a little...
I got my new F430 smog checked last week and driving it home the CST and ABS lights were illuminated, which I was sort of expecting due to the...
From what it seems like, it sounds like SpeedVentures and the like is more about group track time and such? I'd rather find some sort of avenue...
See, it's this kind of thing that worries me. :-/
I recently bought myself a 2006 F430 and I'm having an absolutely awesome time driving it around LA. It's my first Ferrari and has pretty much...
Well, that certainly could be possible! I did buy it used and I *do* think it was driven by a soccer mom, but I don't understand why the F1 system...
I got my F430 about a month ago and (unfortunately) haven't had the time to drive it as much as I would like. Since I'm still pretty nervous about...
I know this is a topic that gets discussed a lot, but I spent about an hour searching through the archives and didn't come up with anything...
Thanks! Here's my thread on it: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=286321 So, obviously, that's why I'm starting to obsess...
I just bought my first Ferrari -- a 2006 F430. After seeing all the horrifying pictures and stories of spontaneously combusting 430s, I figure I...
I noticed this as well in my 430, though I've only had mine for about 72 hours at this point :)
