Hey man, just wanted to say this video was so spot on. Went and saw a used 360 at the dealer… this gave me a number of things to look at, including the badge! It was an aftermarket one slapped on, without the molding of the fender. I never would’ve caught it, very subtle. Thanks!

Good informative video. Better than most UK 360 Modena videos. I've had a 360 for 4 years. No one would say it's a cheap car to run - unless your previous car was a Lamborghini - but hardier than you'd expect. Use it - the paint won't wash off in the rain.

Good video. Big help top me since I'm looking seriously at buying a 360. I have a question for you... that heat exchanger issue... does that same issue happen with a manual transmission car? I'm not sure if the F1 and manual trans are same unit just with a fancy auto clutch system on the F1. Thanks again for the video. I've watched it several times at least.
@ScottishCarClan

Brian, yes both the manual and F1 cars use coolant to gearbox oil heat exchangers. The issue is because the coolant was never part of the service schedule and now some have very old fluid which becomes mildly acidic and starts to corrode the exhanger from the inside out. As I said in the video always check the coolant for oil spots.
Excellent video! Really informative! I currently own a Lotus Elise S1 and a Jaguar F-Type V6S, both of which have had their fair share of issues! I'm tempted to sell both in favour of a manual 360 Modena, which has always been a dream car of mine. They seem relatively simple in terms of construction; is DIY repairing/replacing of components possible in most cases? The majority of expense noted by owners appears to be in relation to Ferrari dealership hourly rates! 😂 In terms of slush fund (for failures only), what do you reckon is sensible per annum? Are you thinking of upgrading the exhaust at all? Interested to know more about your journey with the 360, so subbing! 🙂👍 - The Editor @ BCK

In the correct climate wonderful! In Scotland... maybe not so much. Also beware, nearing 20 years old its another part of the car that will require added maintenance and possibly rebuilding.
You didn't mention keys, fobs and immobilizer. A 360 should have 3 fobs (2 black and a master red fob), a key on each fob and a card with the immobilizer PIN code on it for emergency use via the ignition switch. If the PIN code and red fob are missing then you're looking at $1000 USA to retrieve the PIN and purchase and program new fobs. If, after starting the car, the red immobilizer/alarm light stays on (on the little panel with the Sport mode switch) it means that your alarm siren has failed, probably the battery has corroded the circuit board inside. Replacing that can be $500+ to repair. Also, check engine mounts, they collapse every 20,000 miles, about $500 to replace them. The steering racks are prone to seal leaks, they're made by TRW but no one sells a seal kit for them so find a reputable shop to rebuild the rack, about $1500 to rebuild, about $10,000 to buy a new one, used racks are much cheaper but may have the same problem that yours does. Don't buy an F1 transmission car without having someone scan the remaining clutch life as clutches last about +/-25,000 miles depending on use and are $5000 to replace. If the clutch remaining is under 50% then hammer down the purchase price. Check when the cam belts were last changed, should be every 3 years or 7,000 miles (although most owners go well beyond that), and its about $1600 to change belts. Don't buy a car that has a check engine light on unless you completely understand what's causing it. Ignition, injection, and exhaust measurement and management systems and sensors, which cause most check engine lights, are expensive. Also, check the exhaust system. Factory headers tend to crack (think $500 to repair then to $3500 to replace them) and many of the aftermarket exhausts are so noisy and they drone so that they spoil the drive. After having said that, I've had my 2000 360modena for just over a month and even though it came with some of the issues that I've mentioned I would buy it over again as they are FABULOUS cars to drive....I don't even care that they're gorgeous, they are wonderful driving cars.

Great contributions here. The engine mounts are pretty easy to swap out if you have this issue (video coming soon) even if you are new around spanners! The gearbox mount is a little harder but I'll add a video on this too. Be careful around the cambelt conversation as we once seen a scenario where the belts had indeed been changed but the original tensioner was still there! A risky move to save a few hundred £/$ Factory headers - the vast majority of failures here appear only to be cars in the USA because tighter regulations called for an afterthought pre-cat to be added to the header. More heat = more cracking. I believe this only applies to year 2000 onward 360's. "Euro" cars don't have this header. Thanks for your comment, great content!

The synchros work very well but are small in physical size. The teeth on them end up as a kind of tombstone shape and they don't work like they once did. Yes, whilst more common on manuals you should still expect to replace them 50-60k miles in an F1 car too :(

Looking at a LHD, manual, red 360 without Scuderia shields or challenge grille. Bone stock. 54000km. Full service booklet, tool kit and car cover. But car definitely has sagging exhaust pipes. There is a black mark on the floor where it’s sat in the ad (old pic?). Owner says it’s not been dripping oil for the last 4 months in hibernation. Not been much used last few years. MOT’d until next year. Belts and major service done 2018. Serviced 2020. Haven’t seen or driven it. Would probably think ball joints need replacing also. Tyres are scrap from 2008, but looks like new. What’s the verdict? 25% VAT on importing a car from abroad. Very few manuals available In Norway. Owner is asking 75000£’s (bare in mind the 25% VAT on any import car).

Hi Nord Mann, are you still contemplating this purchase? Sagging exhaust pipes means gearbox mount is shot, expect sloppy gear changes as a result. You can remedy this yourself if you are handy with spanners, let me know if you want the link to the correct tool to use. I wouldn't expect it to drip oil until its fully up to temp, even a completely shot rear main seal only leaks once the oil thins out with heat. The truth is even a brand new one may leak a little, it's just a question of if the amount lost is reasonable or not. The price sounds about right but just be prepared to need to spend a further 5k to get it into good order. Best of luck!

Great question! There are 2x schools of thought here. First is buy the lowest mileage car possible, I agree with this if you're buying it as an asset that will rarely be driven. Now if you plan to use the car I would always recommend buying one that has had routine use throughout it's life even if only 1000-2000 miles per year. The reason for this is that many of the seals on the 360 require it be up to temperature for proper lubrication. A good example on mine was the rear main seal which was seeping when I bought it purely because the car had been driven so little in the past few years.
