    Hi guys, first post here...

    I'm having some major issues with my 360 which I got so fed up with. Whenever I drive the car just jumps into neutral. I already replaced the clutch two or three times already. I'm thinking its another clutch wear again, few days ago the car just went into neutral and the transmission and check engine light turned on. Than it wouldn't go into gear. So I had to turn it off and go through each gear, than it did. Is this some major clutch wear? I already had my ferrari guy check the electronics too. How do I check the hydraulic fluid for the F1? My son has been driving the car and racing his friends I know of this, because he drives it like crazy though. So I just bought an 2007 murcielago lp640 roadster with the e-gear. the 360 has just been giving too many problems, so I just gave it to my son for now and he got stuck in traffic again and I'm not sure whats wrong with the 360...

    It doesn't sound like a clutch problem. It definately needs putting on an SD2/SD3 diag. computer to find the cause. It will be a trip to the dealership i'm afraid! It could be that you have air in the system or an oil leak on it, the possibilites are many. To check the oil, you have to remove a small cover held in place with hex-key bolts. This is located at the rear of the black engine bay panel, on the right hand side. Make sure you you engage the pump (open the driver's door after it has sat a while) before checking the level. You will see a small black bottle beneath the cover you have removed, unscrew the lid and the dipstick is built into it. Don't top up right to the maximum mark if it needs any, just below it is where it should be, and only use the proper F1 oil.
