It was taken today....That photo wasn't taken in November
As I was reading through the posts I was just thinking about the 3 hours per side to replace the sensors.
I am surprised nobody else picked up on it.. perhaps that's normal, but a quick scoot on good old youtube shows it's not thaaaat bad a job, is it?
I mean, come on. That's nearly a days work for a lad to replace two sensors?
The three hours per side are made up off having to undo the various “arms” around the Hub as well as Brake Calliper to enable it to move enough for the Shaft to come out of the Hub, assuming it’s not to seized, the Ring can then be changed. The actual wire Sensor is SUPPOSEDLY a simple job, 1 bolt and “pull it out of the Hub” yeah, right! Mine is seized solid, i started to Drill it out but got fed up and went back to Paint Stripping the Hall. Not sure which job I enjoy least but at least I’m in the dry!
Well minor service is £499 and major £1350, front pads £24.99 + fitting so not much more than AMG really. I only do around 6000 miles a year so provided I get some warranty should be ok.If you have the money go for it, bear in mind, carbon ceramics will cost you approx £10k plus pads for the car. Steels are a lot cheaper.
Probably using the £25k torque wrench that Guy Martin had a play with at Ricardo...minor service a nugget off 500 squid , are the tools made by Gucci ??
A C-Tek trickle charger costs about £70 IIRC. My brother's 458 is always plugged in unless it's out on the road. The bigger problem is that you'll have to change your moniker. You also have to make new friends - not many on here have Ferrari problems to discuss.Well minor service is £499 and major £1350, front pads £24.99 + fitting so not much more than AMG really.

The drawback is just found out battery dies after 4 days non use...

Ferrari I should think, little more upmarket brand than Gucci ;-).minor service a nugget off 500 squid , are the tools made by Gucci ??
No room in the garage for the Ferrari to charge it, guess I would have to drive it more often...A C-Tek trickle charger costs about £70 IIRC.
