    Hello all,

    I am in a bit of a situation. The guy I work for has recently purchased not one, but two Mondials and has made it my test in life to keep them running. One is an 85 cab. and the other is, I think, an 80 Mondial 8 with an 89 QV motor dropped in the back. The drop top is near show room condition and is not a problem, the other... is in not so good of shape. Someone left it in a field under a tarp for a year or so here in Hong Kong..

    It does run, and drives alright but I have gathered from trolling the internet that the warm starting issue and the "death at a stop light," I am most likely after a Warm up Regulator. But, I am in Hong Kong... So when it comes to used parts... I am up a creek without a paddle. If you all have any advice I would be greatly appreciative.

    Thanks, and some picks of his newest car ( the cabriolet ) and some of the other beauties that I found hidden away in the dealer ship's store room while sorting out paper work.

    Thanks

    You could do worse than posting the query in the new Mondial area

    Your best bet for new or used parts is the UK in some ways & talking to specialist Eurospares or even the official www.ferrariparts.co.uk - lots of other UK recommendations around this site
