Having worked my way through several Porsches and enjoyed most of them. I decided to have a change and bought a California V8, had it over a year now and it’s been for me a decent entry level Ferrari. Real head turner in the Rosso Fiorano and a lovely sound. No major niggles except squeaky...

Hello to all, I’ve done the rounds with quite a few cars in my life, including 7 porsche cars. Not all at the same time I’m afraid but anyway, I’ve often gone for lovely colours, from red to purple and some boring ones in between. Ive never had trouble come resale time but now that I’m on the...

Hello all, Currently driving a fiarano Rosso Cali V8. Feel like a step up and I’m heavily tempted by 458 spiders. I’ve seen this and I’m certain some will detest the colour combo. Yes, I do like it and I feel the price, mileage and spec are good. Just considering hard times come resale...

I’m guessing this one has been done to death but hopefully somebody can assist. I use my Cali at least once a week, usually at the weekend but then I do reasonably long ish trips. I.e. minimum 12 miles each way and often more. so, after a week on the drive, today it wouldn’t turn over, I got...

Hello to all, I’ve been looking at 458 spiders and my budget is limited to 150k max. I know that restricts my options a tad but that’s life. I e seen one that has a good spec and miles are not too high at 28k for a 2012 plate. Price is 140k Problem is that car in question has 8 previous...

Looking at upgrading from my Cali to a 458 spider (as per my my other posts) After trade and a deposit if I spent total say 165k My deposit and trade in total 85k So financing 80k (ish) I’ve tried to Google possible options but every time I do this, I get lenders who want me to input the...

Yes, I know it’s all down to personal choice but as per my other posts, I’m in the lookout for a 458 spider. BUT, having seen the prices I’m having to adjust my sights a little. Ideally would like to spend max 150k for a spider but I’m aware I could get similar mileage and spec car in Italia...

Thinking ahead here, anybody know a decent service and repair garage in London or Essex? Also and I do know it’s been done before, anybody know who carries out the dreaded dct sensor replacement work, not that I’m being pessimistic of course 😀 Sorry, forgot to say the car is a Cali V8 2010

As per thread title, apart for the obvious things such as colour choice, what are the things that buyers would usually look for, when considering ownership and potential resale later on. This is long term thinking from me, I am not going to rush out and buy one but if the right one came along at...

As per the title. For me it would be quite a hike in cost as my v8 NA is a 2010 plate. Very well loved and lovely colour combo etc. I’ve just got tempted by the Cali t’s looks and performance. Anybody made the transition, is it worth what would be around 30 to 40k for me extra? Or should I...

Just had a wheel and tyre replaced, so i now get the yellow box and message - TPMS needs to be reset. I tried to scroll through the options on the display but it wont move to the next screen. I look in the hanbook and nothing to explain why this is happening. So I tinkered with other bits...

As per my post re pothole damage. I’m seriously considering getting a decent set of 19” wheels and tyres on eBay for around 1k Reason is I’ve just blown a tyre and damaged a wheel over a ridiculous pot hole. The wheel damage is minor but I’ve asked several people and they say as long as...

Im hoping to make a claim against the council. left me stranded and had to recovered on a flatbed.

I know it sounds a bit random and at first I thought it was a glitch but it’s happening every time I fill up the car. I put the nozzle in and when I depress the handle on the fuel pump, it cuts out, the same way that it would do if the tank was full up. I did a Google search and I got a few...

was having a nose around behind the wheels on my Cali 2020, (it all started with squeaky brakes but that's another story). anyway, I noticed on the nearside, the damper looked much newer than the one on the drivers side. I considered that this may have been replaced in previous ownership, my...

mine has Magnaride and feels pretty good for general use, not floaty and corners well for a RWD I wont be doing track days in this car so it is fine with me. at the time of purchase i was drawn to going for a very similar car, colour and spec etc. the other car was a later model and had a...

As per title. I am used to driving Porsche and other cars with PDK type gearing. I just can't seem to get used to the, what seems to me to be old fashioned automatic car, roll back when you're on an incline. My Porsche used to always automatically hold and i NEVER used the electronic brake...

Hello, Looking for a wind deflector for California 2010, prefer with bag but not essential. Anybody got one for sale?

Hello all, as per title above, my new to me 2010 Cali has had the head unit replaced with an Alpine unit, that also has apple car play and nav etc. They also installed an amplifier in the boot, so it's all pretty good but I don't like that it has pinched a bit of boot space. I'm totally not...

I’m getting to know my new to me 2010 Cali I’ve asked a few questions but I can always find more �� The latest is the squeaky brakes thing. I’ve had ceramics on my 911 turbo s and they did squeak a little but not like these. The car is 28k miles in and I’ve looked at the...
