My Ferrari 360 is one troubled prancing horse, how much is it going to cost to fix this time ? Plus a Boxer update.

Classic starter solenoid problem. You can't buy can cleaning products in the UK? How odd.
My experience with USPS tells me that when the shipment came to the UK it did not then depart the UK again, it went to customs and this is despite what the tracking tells you. USPS tracking is misleading, I don't know why it tells you this. So, trust that it is now in UK customs clearing and it will transfer to Royal Mail before they hit you with import and handling fee.
There is something to be said about not having the prettiest or show quality pieces... takes little stress off about keeping it ideal... adds to the fun factor
Good luck with USPS... they are in a world of hurt... worst service of all time
Love your videos - I keep checking back for the next update. Can't wait :D
Im poor ,,i would never treat my Ferrari that way.
I live in Chicago and near O'Hare Intl Airport. If I can help, let me know. Otherwise, Good luck!
Hey, it's a twenty year old Ferrari not a two year old Camry...
I want a Testarossa convertible as a workbench too!
I've fixed dozens of that style of starter motors. You needed to replace the 2 L shaped copper contacts in the solenoid and buff the plunger contact area. Never had one come back.
Thanks buddy
Love your work
hey have you heard anymore about your nicked tool roll from the ferrari
If it was me I would have just bought a new starter
A man after my own heart. If I had a Ferrari I'd work on it on the drive too
My 575M has been trouble free for the last 9 years.
Would it be possible to make a wiring loom/extension and move the ecus inside the cabin?
This guy is a hard worker for a British guy.
Next video ?
The way I see it if you got shit loads of money to throw away buy a Ferrari, and become a mechanic 🧰.
What a big waste of time and monies FERRARIS SUCK
It looks more like a junkyard than a sportscar workshop. It hurts my eyes.
Im poor ,,i would never treat my Ferrari that way.
Has made it possible for people to attempt repairs on so called super cars... Really impressive to be honest
When we did the mounts on my friend's 10k mile 430, the rubber was broken on both of them! Same part as 360, way more power.
Couriers losing parts is a nightmare. Don't ever use Parcel Hero as they make it as difficult as possible to search and refuse to allow calls or easy contact. They've lost my wheels and tyres!
For goodness sake... Why don’t you actually finish a project... Fix all the faults, including start buttons and carpets, etc. Then start another Ferrari project.... You’re just another gunna... Gunna do this and gunna do that... Be a finisher!
I was on the Nurburgring about ten years ago ,where you there with two other 360 ?
If the starter packs up completely mate give me a shout. I've got a fully working one spare
Love how the Testarossa is basically a work bench and just gets crap sprayed all over it. :-) Doing the best with the space you have though which is great. Thanks for the videos.
Bring her to Barkaways, we will fix her for you 🤙
I had the same issue with USPS, however this is the number to speak to a HUMAN (US) 1 800 222 1811. If it is a long hold they will call you back, they did for me twice. Also, take the claim number it gets everything moving a lot faster, it is different than an insurance claim number. My package showed up 4 weeks late, Good Luck!!
Here's an idea. Instead of pulling off the rear valance. Use a floor jack to jack up the car, put some jack stands under the car and access the starter from underneath the car. It's less labor intensive and quicker.
@Ratarossa Ah, so they make it complicated like every other car manufacturer.
Impossible the undertray needs to come off the car which requires the removal of the rear bumper... nice idea though in theory
It was determined that it had contracted covid
Nice to see you calling your 360 a 360 for a change. Fair play all the effort that you’ve gone to with sourcing parts etc., but ultimately it isn’t a stradale. Just like any other brand of car where people add parts to improve what they have, it’ll never truly be one unless it left the factory that way. Audi S versions made to RS never really be an RS. Or old school Ford’s made to be a Cosworth. Keep up the good work though. Love the way you get stuck in and nothing bothers you.
You did well by cleaning and lubing everything up but you left the parts alone that actually cause the problem on those. I used to get new contacts for about $5 here in Canada. Lots of Toyotas have those starters and usually there's a click and nothing else. If it's dead quiet, often the brushes are bad and the pull in winding is not getting a connection. I couldn't actually see the condition of the brushes from your camera angle.
USPS has been slammed. Especially things in the East coast. Anytime anything of mine goes through the New Jersey hub it is alway at least 10 days late coming out West.
Hi dude, I know that it isn't a Ferrari, but the Lancia Beta from the Top Gear Botswana special has been rediscovered and the owner is looking for someone to do something about the sorry state it's in. Might be something up your alley?
The US Postal Service is more broken than your Ferraris. My Christmas cards took a month to arrive. That's airmail, not boat (at least, that's what I paid for). I think your parts got caught up in Trump's (failed) election strategy.
Put heat proof tape over the ecu's this will divert the heat away from the ecu body which I can only presume as a massive portion of its circuit board attached to a heat sink to absorb the heat that the circuit generates alone
Hey dude, no new vids on the bbi yet? Or am i being impatient lol?
How about a lifting ramp.
In fact the method with the hammer was what I had to do to my first car, a beaten up VW bus back in 1983.
Had to laugh when he pulled out the mount, I knew the new one wasn't going back in that gap :)
Ask to speak with district manager of UPS for your late parcel.
Italian super car that won't turn over?
Good luck with USPS. I live in the US and just got a utility bill that was due a month ago. They dropped all shipments to process that farce of a mail in ballots for the election. Be patient. They will get to it.
Those are very low sitting cars. You could easily bolt up a double lift made just for your tiny garage, then you'd get 4 of em kept in climate controlled collectable condition, thus making you extremely happy with your purchase. It would look pretty groovy wouldn't it?
I did measure up to see if that was possible but couldn’t find a lift that was small enough to lift ... but yes that would be awesome
Avoid usps when you can
Always a great watch, thanks.
The US postoffice is the worst. We here in America never use them.
Always try and use Fedex from the US, I use Rockauto for my Jeep parts with Fedex shipping taking 3 days from ordering to my door!
You're a wild man, sir! My hat's off to you!
Uh, if you remove the engine mounts (which hold up the engine) isn't it going to fall on your HEAD?????
Interesting. I would have said "dead battery." I've never seen someone whack the starter and have it actually work! Good engineering, putting it where all the road dirt and grime can get to it. Good job, Enzo!
Wtf... are you kidding??? Couple taps with the mallet and it started !? Crazzzzzy ! LoL 👏👏
Really enjoy DIYer spannering like this on YT be it on something exotic like a Ferrari or something more humble like a Ford or old Rover. Keep up the good work. One question, with your time saving Time-lapse stuff, what setting do you use? ... about ten seconds I would guess from watching your footage. Impressive attention to details when giving the Starter Motor a severe dose of TLC. Makes a BIG difference. Been doing much the same since I bought my first car as a teenager many moons ago. Learned early that taking your time and being thorough with cleaning etc during stripping and reassembly pays dividends. Friends and relatives accuse me of being "lucky" with my cars reliability but, as you most certainly know, there's more to it than pure luck. Looking forward to more of the same now a subscriber.
Get the actual physical address and phone number of the local post office and call the postmaster
When Im spraying switch cleaner I move it away from the bench so it dribbles on the floor and my bench is just a bench !
man your videos are simply great! cheers from Italy!
Awww......no drive vid once the work was done?! - that's always a nice way to end. Still, love the content Scott and always love the driveway ferrari fettling.
Tem algum Brasileiro indiquinado em ve esse cara usar o capô do carro como mesa de apoio de ferramentas e peças ?
Ahh, those startups & quick shut downs make me cringe!
I keep checking daily for progress on the 512 restoration, I know you're waiting for parts to arrive, I hope they come soon, many of us are waiting, good luck
Hey bro its not a solenoid thing its called a Bendix. Learn what your working on and the proper Verbage otherwise you sound like a dope as you do.
It’s nice too see a car being used instead of being a Garege queen👍
How cool is it to use a Testarossa as a work bench? Living the life!
That's a nice Ferrari workbench you've got there!
Very good job, keep it up! 👍
Testarossa as a workbench... Damn...
WHY DID he not just put in gear and rock
Tried it but with the F1 System its not that simple
Due to buying the least cared for cars you can find.
The problems in today's world...... and what Ferrari to play, men's fix on the day?? 😏🙂
You need a bigger garage mate
he actually gets more done than Tarvarish. That guy would talk for half the video about random crap and show you all 30 of his current projects that he will never finish before actually fixing his car in the captions. Lol
hah, just like a Fiat. Fiat tool number one is a big hammer. Tool number two is a bigger hammer.
U're prob ... is believing the fezza fairytale Everything pre 458 /488 was purely build as an auction investment "sculpture" to fund enzo's racing addiction they break down just by looking at them ! fezza is/was Pure mafia !!! as in lieing cheating bribing and blackmailing they're cars to the top of every car test just ask Jeremy Clarkson and Chris Harris, they got banned from testing fezza's just because they told the thruth !!!
Have ABCARBON redo the carbon work. He's amazing! check his IG.
Nice work bench😂
Love it...... a Japanese starter on a Italian Super car! It was really great how you could service it as well. I'm in the USA, And can confirm that there has been some slow deliveries lately -even here in the States . What I had to do was go to the post office with the tracking number and the person at the counter ran a very detailed tracking scan for me; they are helpful , but as you indicated you must be there in person (no phone calls) . (you can't , But I could) , Now, to be clear I may be only able to get more information for you, but you never know as I might be able to get it moving for you also. (???). Stefan
All courier companies are the same these days, impossible to speak to a real person if and when they lose your parcel.
You are the real deal Scott!! The best Ferrari video diy channel ever mate! Big hello from Zug Switzerland - Cheers! Just love the Boxer and Stradale builds!!
Very insightful. Impressed how how Ratarossa does't mess around and gets stuck in.
F1 system should be FI system?
Don't we all use old Ferraris for a workbench?
I'm not all that impressed with Ferrari.
Thank you for this video!!! Your Subsciber over here from Los Angeles California U.S!! I've own a 81 Ferrari 400i in past some times I wan't to buy another one but scared!!
Nice Ferrari work table!!!!
I really enjoy these types of videos where you so how these wonderful machines work. Keep it going Ratarossa!!!!
This guy is great...how to fix Ferraris on a budget...great stuff!!
You really need to take better care of these cars, the interior on this one is horrific and you are using another as a work bench, good god man...
Lol, good old 'technical tap' on the starter. I may or may not have had to do that at a hotel to start my NSX after a severe over-night cold snap.
some greatfuel soul can give this man a work Bench ?????
USPS awful dhl or ups only i would use
What a baller! He is using a back end of one of his Ferraries as a work bench :) hahahah! Mega!
The denso starter motor solenoids are rebuild-able your contacts look very warn in side solenoid body, Not sure if its the same rebuild kit but the land rover TD5 starter motor rebuild kits are about 11 quid on ebay and the contacts should be the same
No workbench really? Using the tail of the white car as a bench!
You might not get your parts from outside the UK. On Jan 1st the rules changed for import VAT. If a foreign company is selling to someone in the UK they have to VAT register with the UK government, collect the VAT at point of sale and pay it to the UK Government. Whereas all they used to have to do was complete the customs declaration and you would be charged the VAT and pay it online when it arrived in the UK. I've had several companies mail me to say they are no longer willing to sell into the UK due to all the extra admin they now have to do.
Man you need a lift in a bad way.
Most unorganised work I have ever seen. Uses a Ferrari Testarossa as a work bench and spray solvents on the paint. Admire his attacking the work but he would be better off organising his garage and build a collapsible work bench.
Advantages of a ratty ferrari: 1. work bench 2. storage 3. spare parts bin
Always make me freak-out when i see you using your TESTAROSSA as a work bench. By the way... I was wondering. In the near future, instead of spending big money on another Ferrari, don't you think investing in another home with a bigger garage where you could work in better condition would be a good idea???
