    Stupid offset driving position on the 412.
    Poor access for maintenance, example the need to remove engine and then the front timing cover to change bearing at the rear of the water pump - 30 hours labour or more

    308 GTB - car heat soaks after a few hours because the coolant pipes to the radiator run up the central core of the car. Once it's properly hot, the A/C won't cope.
    If you open the windows the hot air coming exiting the radiator vents behind the headlights is drawn in to the car.

    That's fixable without too much effort, most likely a problem with the heater valves or the wire rod that actuates them ( adjustment )

    The only thing that bugs me about the 575 is lack of cruise control. Otherwise awesome

    It mostly comes out the centre console. Checked the valve acutuation and wire and seems to be ok unless the valve itself has crapped out.

    After 41 years of Ferrari ownership, the only things I hate about it are the people I met through that ownership and most of the mechanics.

    It's probably the seal around the AC duct under the dash - it perishes. Have a look
