Car Forum / Ferrari Cars / December 2006Finally got my 308 back yesterday.
...no steering racks are available, so I had to wait for a re-con unit. Anyway, the steering is less Land Rover and more Ferrari now. Of course the horn compressor had also failed and one front calliper needed replacing (another re-con unit, cos you can't get those either). Anyway, at least she brakes in a nice straight line now. And the winner is.... ... a shade over £800 (that's $1,600 to you 'Merkins). <sigh> -MCPD P.S. Good job I get a discount or it would have been over a grand.

Anyway, > at least she brakes in a nice straight line now. I haven't seen a fresh steering rack in years. The calliper is a suprise tho'. Just think about those poor folks who have 360s in about twenty years. What a mess they'll be in... > And the winner is.... > > ... a shade over £800 (that's $1,600 to you 'Merkins). <sigh> Friggin' exchange rate. I shan't be able to visit you if this keeps up. > -MCPD > P.S. Good job I get a discount or it would have been over a grand. > > -- > Http://www.redmist.freeserve.co.uk (unchanged for years. Oh well.) No shite. How about an update? T308 (Who changes every year...) <<I haven't seen a fresh steering rack in years. >> Try finding one for a 512. C. What about a gun rack? > ...no steering racks are available, so I had to wait for a re-con unit. > Anyway, the steering is less Land Rover and more Ferrari now.

Yes, drive it ;-) ...especially in the Alps! ...and if it needs some TLC, QV are your first port of call (unless you're a competent mech, of course!) -Paul P.S. who is starting to sound like an ad for a certain garage. > "mrcheerful ." <nbkm57@hotmail.com> wrote > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > -Paul > P.S. who is starting to sound like an ad for a certain garage.
