Ferrari 308 Project Finally Fixed ..... But Not For Long !!! 

Good game

I would be inclined to agree, at least this traditional style stat can be dropped into hot water to see that it opens correctly. Also a pressure test if it were mine just to confirm the system is 100 percent sealed

Cheers biddy, thank the shit box Ferrari's i buy though, they keep throwing all these problems at me to create content

Think of how boring this would be if he owned only Toyotas! 😝

WOW really that would make sense, do you think that would have been fitted to this 1982 ferrari though ?

@@Ratarossa probably not! others have mentioned spotting a Mercedes symbol on it. That is where I recognised it from. I had one on a 2004 Mercedes, I believe it was to protect the catalytic convertor

@@Ratarossa It could be a trap door for an internal fuel collector. Basically allows fuel in to the collector and then shuts when it tries to flow back out. The internal collector helps to prevent fuel starvation when you go round corners fast as the fuel pump sits within the collector. They look a bit different now but the principle is the same. There's a company in Bletchley called Aero Tec Laboratories, they sell them, they're called non return valves on their site, they sell level senders. tooo They might even have replacement tanks for you

@@coxynut The one on my Mercedes was just under the filler cap and I assumed it was to also work as a valve to stop fuel spillage on tight corners with a full tank? Anyway it came loose and out of line making it difficult to put in the nozzle so I ripped it out one day in anger and binned it! LOL

@Ratarossa For the US in 1982, for sure that flap would be used. Leaded fuel was not phased out here until 1996, so it makes perfect sense that flap would be there. Best of luck!

Good idea !

@@Ratarossa Hope I am wrong, but would still love to see the content :)

Does make sense in a way but I'd suspect old shot cooling lines before I'd condemn the hg. If he hoses are hard like a rock after 15m or less easly could be hg.

Your hose sprung in the lenght of the hose meaning pressure building g up. I agree head gasket or worse whitch i hope not...good for content thow. Good Luck i love watching your show

Ill tighten them a little extra LOL .... I'm hoping for bubbles from mine to

Soke the pipe in hot water makes it soft and easy to work.

@@howellroberts3613 great tip

@@howellroberts3613 soak* and yes, that's a decent tip :)

Yep sorry didn't notice that lol, this trick only works on black rubber, silicone not so much.

Not exactly the 1st time for stuff like that , not sure if it's naivety, or it's all about the content....

Thanks so much buddy, I have to admit thought this car is now doing my nut in ! I want this finally fixed to move on to fixing another one .... sure is testing my skills

Agreed !!

Yeah, why is it blowing coolant lines? Pressure is coming from somewhere.

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks. Hopefully not buddy

I would have blown the tubes out as well, from the injectors toward the rear. I would look at the injectors as well, most likely they could use a cleaning.

Ha ha thats the best analogy of this prancing horse !

@@Ratarossa much love from Cyprus Scott...keep wrenching...u will tame it

LOL thats so true !

I'd say modern cars are far more of a pain in the arse, especially as im doing it for a living. If I had a choice if rather work on things like this as opposed to engines half made of plastic and engineered to last no more than a couple of years. We live in a disposable age as opposed to being able to strip a part and service it at a component level. Even things like alternators are now an exchange replacement, no parts for it for repair such as regulator rectifiers, or brushes, bearings. Just replace a complete unit with another. And the amount of warped plastic housings I've found over the last few years is a joke. So sad how it's become, especially as we're meant to be in an age of being kind to the environment and recycling. Just toss it in the skip and move onto the next job

@@gordoncompton3014 Love your comment! This is exactly my opinion of modern cars.

2 coolant pops in the episode but don't worry everyone still thinks only BMWs have "cooling system isues" ;)

@@gordoncompton3014 modern cars are harder to work on, but usually have less problems than 40 yr old cars... of course, when they do have problems...

@@paulwalker993RSR The biggest issue is the addiction if hitting the knife edge sweet spot running and tuning wise alot of Italian wonderment from the 50s60s70s and 80s. There is no other nation that can produce such amazing engines, and the feeling if them on song is the bes👌🤌👌🤌👌🤌👌

Yer I think it was well worth the money just for the hassle it saved

Yes! This calls for a crossover video between the two channels.

LOL also expensive !

Coolant and fluids were,, hoses not !

It sure does ! mechanically sound, maybe a little smokey at times but other than that, its now a pretty reliable Testarossa

possible

Not at idle, no load on the engine so cylinder temps won’t be anywhere near close to cooking the coolant. It would be lean popping and horrendously misfiring way way way before the AFR made even a slight impact on coolant temps.
