The feeling when you manage to fix something that you have struggled with for so long, and almost gave up...is indescribable...didn’t hurt that it saved you ton of money either.. congrats!!!
This series on the f1 shifting was a wealth of knowledge. Thank you! I only wish it had come out a few months earlier when I had shifting problems with my f430. It would have gone a long way in demystifying it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Kevin, its one reason i record and share these video. Theres very little information on issues like this and especially the f1 system so hopefully it will help out many owners in future
Well done, Scott. Tremendous perseverance. I've learnt quite a bit from your channel, and it's entertaining as well. RUclips doesn't recognise its motoring channels in its year-end review, but your channel was certainly one my best of 2019. Thanks for the informative and entertaining year.
Well done Scott. Nothing better than fixing it yourself and saving a fortune in the process. Great to see someone driving these cars rather than collecting them like works of art. Keep it up!
Kudos for the fix. But halfway through, I suddenly realised the whole £20k complicated mess was just designed to replace changing gear - which was always one of the nicest aspects of driving a Ferrari - I'm talking theb6-speed manual. This was when car designers disappeared up their own exhaust pipe...
literally gone back to the first 360 video and watching them one by on il be a 360 mechanic at this rate haha love it! im looking for a 360 or 430 but everyone keeps telling me no to due to costs and reliability, yet you have proven this 360 to be a daily in all weather, would love to have the balls to just repair a car like that. saves loads of money d=for sure. great videos!
Seems to me the problem was the kink in the line all along. Glad you got it fixed and thanks for the in-depth info on the F1 trans. When I was 20 (1985)and lived in NY, I put in a huge stereo the afternoon before I had to drive 900 miles to college in GA. Finished the the install at 11:30 at night and nothing worked. Checked the entire install and couldn’t find a problem. I had to drive by myself to GA without a functioning radio. Got to My apt in GA, ripped everything out and installed it again and still nothing. Then I checked my fuses. The problem was the cigarette lighter/radio fuse. The lesson: Any problem, start by checking the simplest solution first before you start ripping stuff apart. Start analysis with a small solution to big problem first.
Fail and fail better & eventually you will succeed - a masterclass in perseverance👍. I wanted a Ferrari by the time I was 30. I’m now targeting one for 60 in just over 3 years time! If I go that route, possibly a 348, I will pay close attention to what you’re up to. This guy is a great resource for the Ferrari enthusiast with not so deep pockets!
Thanks Mark, best of luck with the quest. The 348 is a great car as im sure you've seen in the previous videos, lots of fun and quite simple to maintain
Ratarossa cheers. Yes I’m old school and grew up on fast Fords Triumoh GT6s and Datsun 240Zs so a strong left leg and well developed biceps were mandatory then. The analogue nature of the Ferrari 348 definitely appeals and I think it’s one currently affordable model that will appreciate significantly in years to come!
Dude, you don't realize how smart, determined, and patient you are. You are wasting your assets fixing old Ferraris. Anyway, I am massively impressed with your capacity to troubleshoot Ferrari mechanical issues. You either have a lot of other people's (parents?) money financing your cost of living, or are making a small fortune on the side.
Good job ... they are pretty simple cars. As long as you dedicate the time and effort to trace the problem these cars are pretty easy to fix and not too expensive either. Been doing it for the past 12 years.
It is noble to put out your videos to help others. It would reach more people looking for this repair if you were to include the part that you were repairing in the title or description so that it can be reached from the search function. Great videos. I love Ferrari.
Scott, I really enjoy your channel and Ferrari passion. Taking on a F1 transmission problem is great. Like your perseverance and troubleshooting skills. Keep up the great work.
Looking at the way you work from home on those complicated machines I also did your job from my home but much less complicated cars that’s why I really enjoy your workmanship and the trial and error that goes in it really is amazing to see keep on doing what you do it’s most enjoyable Regards jimmy o Reilly Dublin
Was recommended to this channel by salvage rebuilds uk. Love your channel just shows how much you can save by attempting you own fix. Unbelievable saving.
I shared your frustration, a feeling I know too well. I loved your determination and common sense troubleshooting. Knowledge is power. Success is satisfying and rewarding. Enjoy the feeling and merry Christmas. .
Ratarossa for the wiiiiiiiiin! Nice work - that must have felt good. (Every time I try to type Ratarossa my iPad wants to change it to Rat aroma....lol!)
Scott, you give me confidence to DIY tackle my F1 system, which has started acting up. Will only go into 1 or D. No 2 or above and no R. I'm thinking it's that the F1 pump not being able to build pressure. So maybe a bad motor, relay, or fuse. Or maybe air in the system.
Awesome! Congrats! NOW, after this whole video series, did you ever actually isolate it down to one specific problem? There were so many different theories you tried to chase down, I lost track. What was the issue??
If I followed correctly, I think is EV3 line had a leak in it, and when he replaced it he kinked it When trying to feed it through the steel braided protective line, so it gave the same issue of EV3 line not working. Removed the airbox to get better access to remove the whole F1 pump with all the EV lines. With the steel braided protective line out of the car, he replaced the EV3 again Without kinking it and everything’s all good. Feel free anyone to correct me! Really enjoyed these videos, have a better understanding the F1 system now, now I’m less scared of it. Thanks Ratarossa!
@@millerfisherman1989 think that was a secondary issue with the reinstall, the original problem was the selector was worn and giving too much resistance to the actuators. So when he replaced the selector with the spare the secondary problem became clear.
@@sycostylie1 I'm not so sure, the initial problem was the leak, yes? After replacing the EV3 line, he didn't realize that it was kinked so he was trying to find another explanation, such as the slightly increased resistance in the actuator itself. Maybe switching the actuator parts may have been unnecessary and negligible when the eV3 line was still not functioning correctly from the Kink?
Ok yes, two issues firstly and obviously EV3 line was split, I then replaced it and stupidly kinked the line (hidden in the protective sock) but also and more importantly the notch movement on the actuator selector (so the up and down motion) was also a factor which when I get time i will strip apart and look into but i believe thats a failing bearing of seal.
Honestly Phil, its the best bit of kit I've purchased for the modern cars (didn't show it on the video but it has about another 100 manufactures on there to). Considering Ferrari charge £185 +Vat and hour. it saved itself in cost after 2/3 hours alone
@@Ratarossa You are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing. I do my own work on a 2012 Jag XKR so is your phone software suitable for my car. And by the way you're making me think about a Ferrari but I've always been scared off by horror stories and costs. Thanks again, great channel.
Mike Coyle thanks Mike. That’s part of the reason I do the channel to demystify this myth that Ferrari’s are untouchable, if you work in Jags you can work on Fezzas. The SW is the best bit of kit over bought to help me with the cars. It has over 100 other brands on there including Jag, I’ve not used it so can’t say how that compares with the functionality I get with the Ferrari connectivity but if it’s anything as good it’s gold dust. I’ve tried it on a bmw mini and Peugeot and it’s been amazing on both.
Wheres the fun in that. I'm fairly sure when Pininifarina deigned the Testarossa back in the early 80s that figured at some point some mad person would chop of the roof on one of their creations leave it as a rat look and then use that lovely wide rear end engine lid as a workbench
All I can say is come Jan 2020 I will have owned that Stradale for 10 years. I have never had a car or another ferrari for more than 3 without being bored of it..... The 360 CS though still is magnificent every time I drive it. Also consider I drive and use that car more than 99% of other Ferrari owners, yet it still puts a smile on my face every single time (with the exception of when it breaks down )
Hmm congrats, also I must admit if I ever had the cash, one of the things I would do is drive a white testarossa in the snow just for the hell of it to see it once like that guy did with the miura and the snow tires lol
So you’ve figured out what’s happening,great 👍...but, Where did you get the spare selector,it can’t be free? Can you take the selector apart and let a machine shop make a new shaft for you,it would cost much.
Hey Scott, I knew you would sort it. So, it was that hydraulic fluid line after all then, if the kink hadn't happened that would have fixed the problem ? Once again, displaying your logical trouble shooting skills and that's why I watch mate. Anymore 308 project on the way ? Cheers from Perth, Marc
Hi Marc, thanks mate. I believe the notchy movement of the selector folk also had a part to play in the gear selector issue. At some point I will strip it apart and figure if its a bad bearing or worn seal that caused it
Wow your channel went from 3k subs to 30k subs since the samcrac thingy... congrats! 300k in 2 month? Get in touch with tavarish to help him with the 355 he bought from hoovie after vehicule virgins burnt it lol. Arrange a family vacation in florida :p
Makes interesting viewing but also makes me soooo glad that I don't own a supercar (apart from the fact that the labrador + wife wouldn't fit). Fastest car I had was Honda S2000 (new, ran for 4 years, never went wrong).
Interesting to learn that it is still (thankfully) seemingly just the pin in the actuator that tends to fuck up. Ferrari making a pretty penny from that little blighter..
yes I think its the pin and seals that mainly go on these. Someone is trying to put a repair kit together that will be much cheaper than the complete replacement
Well done. Although I'm not an owner I do send away stuff to specialists for repair and overhaul on older Bentley's. Are there any independent repair shops that could have overhauled the complete F1 system and ECU thing. I'm thinking some kind of a dummy Lab set up. The fact that there's a ransom on your old parts someone is doing it.
Yes theres a great guy here in the UK that does the actuator rebuild and f1 power unit. SS auto tech. I spoke with Simon a few times about the issue to understand the system and he is very knowledgable.
yer its a shame. the problem being with the cheaper model cars they then end up getting neglected because its to expensive to maintain them properly with the factory parts and prices
That's bad ass. Good work figuring it out. Do you think it was mainly the hydraulic line that burst (and then the kinked one) and had little to do with the chunky selector or maybe the chunky selector is what caused the line to burst then the kinked line was just an added problem?
Nice video :). With your DIY skills, what would you say roughly has been the annual maintenance cost on the 360? I’m handy with the spanner but some of those costs look eye watering!
What sort of tosser puts a Christmas Tree on the back for their Ferrari?!?!
The kind of Tossers that don’t buy pimped up bling Range Rovers as a non running garden statue 🤣🤣🤣
its called fossil fuel...:-)
The same type who repairs a gearbox on the rear spoiler of a Testarossa!
Chris Welham Ha Ha Ha that’s true tosser style
The person who has no trailer or roof rack for the Ferrari? Cheers, Bob
The feeling when you manage to fix something that you have struggled with for so long, and almost gave up...is indescribable...didn’t hurt that it saved you ton of money either.. congrats!!!
Absolutely, couldn't put this summary any better

So you’ve figured out what’s happening,great 👍...but,
Where did you get the spare selector,it can’t be free?
Can you take the selector apart and let a machine shop make a new shaft for you,it would cost much.
