It's much easier to bump started in reverse. The length you pushed it backwards it would have started. Next time give it a go.
that would knacker the gear wheels..ratio is far higher in reverse..should normally bump in second...less strain on the transmission
Classic 355 issues. Once all the stuff is fixed with aftermarket upgraded parts they run great and so fun. It's just getting to that point that sucks.
The fun of owning a classic is finding its faults and fixing them. It makes the journey far more rewarding 🙏🙌
that belt squeal sounded like serpentine belt, not timing belt. It'll heat up, catch, then maybe work for while. Bit of belt cleaner or stick 'em if you can reach it.
My favourite modern Ferrari the sound and looks (due to the pop up head lights) are out of this world.
My 355's alternator/battery stranded me at a Radwood event just last week. Lucky for me, that's pretty much the best place on earth to be stranded in an old Ferrari - I had a half dozen people offer to help as soon as I popped the engine lid... We got it jump started and home. I'm still waiting on a new alternator though...
Can't be reconditioned? And are you sure it's an alternator problem? I found a broken pin on the alternator electrical connector on my 355 last month.
@@ImperrfectStranger I found a new one for a reasonable price so I'm swapping and may rebuild the one that is in currently to have as a spare. Confirmed alternator issue with voltage test
Can I suggest that you get a cover for the roof for when you remove it. I had one and it had 2 straps with press studs that could hold it in place when removed. It also protects the roof from being rubbed by the back of the seats in the event they are touching it. The battery, in case you don't know, is located in the front right wheel well. It's a special size. The wheel is removed and the plastic arch is also removed.
Loved seeing the real world issues of owning something like the 355. What’s better is having the ability to resolve all the little “shortcomings” that appear. We do used to modern cars “just working”. The older the car, the less it “just works”. But there can be a LOT of satisfaction in resolving these issues to keep the fun of driving it alive.
Remember James 918 is cool and all that + new Porsche 911 but Ferrari F355 pure class. Shows you have good taste and good class, everyone with some cash can buy new 911 or new Ferrari but when you drive 355 it shows you care of good design car, sound and history of Ferrari. When your 355 get sorted you will love it even more. You need this upgrade:
Steering rack from FHP or Challenge cars, its much much better
FHP brake disc + brake pads, much betteer
FHP damper ECU
FHP swaybars front + back
FHP dampers
Change all bushes new from Ferrari all OEM
Tubi Style manifolds + Tubi Style 200 Cell cats
Exhaust you should consider Tubi Style Evolution, not the normal exhaust. Capristo it too loud if you want to use the car you should not go for Capristo.
Capristo bypass valve, the OE valves will fail
Capristo remote to change valve by remote
Also you need big engine work + change ALL plastic hose, most of the plastic hose are old so better change.
You need get some to go over all engine and change stuff like dyno etc
I have gone for LED light in the OEM lights from Scud Ing Swiss, they have 2x versions 1 version all lights on (I dont like this, dont look OE), 1x version like OE only outer lights on (this is the version I have).
When come to stereo I upgraded on my car Porsche classic din1, but taken away the Porsche logo + all speakers changed looks OEM
Try buy OEM carbon bucket seats, if you are going to change the interior leather color this way you will keep the old seats
Change the kick plates to carbon OEM version, I know one guy that makes them as close to OEM. Even Ferrari cant tell difference.
Sort out all sticky interior bits
Check my videos, I think I have some when my GTS was in for big work
Then you set :)
So basically rebuild the car LOL
Dude I love your content. You need to post a lot more. These older Farrari cars do tend to be quite problematic but what awesome cars they are. Cheer!
Drove the same road you guys did next to the American ww2 cemetry of Henri Chapelle 2:48. Did it on a spontaneous evening last week in my 2015 Focus ST. The roads from there towards Spa are simply amazing. Loving the F355 adventure!
Good thing you got a manual. It would have been a little hard clutch starting it with a F1 gearbox
We’re loving the 355 Journey, and it’s great to at last see some gorgeous classics. All the best ✌🏻
If it wasn't charging it'd run out of battery eventually whilst driving
My educated guess is there's an earthing issue where the starter and solenoid aren't getting enough juice when the car is very hot.
New earth strap, or a secondary one should help.
Other options are dying battery or dying alternator which work until very hot.
the belt squeal we heard was the aux belt which runs the alternator, but that was a one off and not enough to affect charging over distance (the belt would burn out if it was continual)
Either way it should be easy enough to diagnose once home, and none of them is an expensive fix
As for the exhaust solenoid hose get a clamp for the end and something (metal or hard plastic) to sleeve the top few inches of hose.
Can then use some gaffer tape to keep the sleeve in place.
Not pretty fix but will do until the garage can sort it properly.
What an Epic Location! And, of course, the Ferrari is going to be Truly Epic after it is Re-Engineered!
That's what makes "old" cars so charming, you never know if you'll make it to your destination. I told my son when my 356 Roadster wouldn't start "hey, people were late a lot more in the 1960s"
It’s very difficult to get across on camera just how good those engines sound at high RPM, when working of course ❤️
Kreissieg exhaust under load is straight up car porn
What a day, what a car you have, what a great rally it was! It was nice to meet you amigo. And great to see @The_Old_Morris in the Video.
The push to start!!! What a memory of the "old years"! Love the vlog
Wow! I was not sure you would get one after the experience with the Spider, and great to see you took the plunge with the F355! I am intrigued to see what modifications are carried out and hope they are reversible! The car is just a peach as original and needs nothing / very little imho, apart from love and care. I bought mine from a reputable independent in Kent and the car so far has not 🤞had any issues. Just an absolute joy to all 4 senses (i have not tasted it!).
The editing on these new videos is like watching an episode of ‘This Life’ circa late 90’s.
Those Ferrari models are my favorite of Ferrari. Especially the top less and gaited shifter
Good advert for the guys he bought it from !!!
Mine was a 1996 355 GTS 6speed manual, with race seats, bought in 1999 and owned for 2 years, no problems whatsoever except clutch failed, which Ferrari replaced under warranty, fabulous vehicle......
if your battery is holding 14v when running, your alternator is ok..and the battery plates are cooked..if not holding 14v when running, get the alternator checked...👍
Road trip in a F355 guarantees surprises
First thing I'd do - double check all the fuel lines. Literally everything corrodes on these cars after the 15-20yr mark. Also check the fuel pumps for leaks..
LOL at steering wheel tilt. That my friend is what's known as a traditionally Italian driving position. IE: Not the best one but for portly drivers. IE: Old fat men.
Loved the video! Will be very interesting to follow your journey with the 355. Maybe you will do some upgrades I can do to mine as well, even if mine probably will stay closer to original spec then yours :)
Ice cream vendor giving the 355 a run for its money 😍
I felt this video.
Never buy an old Ferrari
Never buy an old Lamborghini
Hello tyler
James, I gave you you some critical feedback a few videos ago. Unlikely that this is the reason for it, but the last few videos have been spot on again! Perfect mix of driving, chatting and product/service branding in my view.
Dude, it´s just not a morning person, gotta give it some time after waking it. 😅
And i personally can confirm the problems of a too hot to touch gear knob, no jokes. But it just looks too good!
That Celica though ;D
There was a 355 between the adverts somewhere!
What adverts?
Roadtrip in an older car without a jumper pack?
Much to learn you have 😉
But awesome content ❤️ And you shouldn’t have brought anything else. Too much „boring“ modern stuff there.
Beautiful F355.
Hopefully, you get all the issues sorted quickly so it can be enjoyed more.
Good to have friends available 🎉
Wee diva boy, expect more of that going forward fella.
Great upload by the way, thanks a bunch!
The only thing that would have made things worse is if he'd brimmed it with diesel
35 degrees…. carrying on like its 45 degrees. 35 is a normal, warm for sure, but normal summers day!
Nice sunglasses. What are they?
Right hand drive cars blah lol
I do like that you get tan interiors with red carpets..
America didn’t get that option.
I do not know when you made this video but it was 35 degrees here in Herefordshire today the18th July which is too much for comfort
Mechanical inspection please I have a road trip coming up.
But if the battery is dead and you can bump start it means that it’s probably only the battery and not a problem with the charging.
Battery could be dying hence works until very hot.
Alternator could be giving low charge (the squeal was aux belt - so could be belt too)
Or it could be an earthing issue not allowing full amps to be drawn on a hot start
Either way its a cheap fix - after investigating which it is
@@th3b0untyhunter I currently have a charging problem with my F355. It's not going to be a cheap fix. The wiring harness was damaged and will need an engine out to replace it.
Mr JWW’s episodes are on point at the moment😁..well all the time really but more so lately😋😁🦾🔥🔥🔥
It would be dope to do like a Ferrari resto mod type thing, like David Lee did with his Dino.
Is it a grounding problem (bad earth)
Nice ice cream, at 10:53 🍦 😎
Great video! Whats the name of the first song??
So in hot weather you chose not to take the roof off? Driving winds is free air conditioning
8:20 LMFAO. killer reference.
Slow. Unreliable. Expensive but sounds 👌🏼
I had a modern classic, won't ever do it again. Regardless of the benefits of having these cars, not knowing if they will start or if you do 300+ miles in one sitting with them; will something go wrong? It just isn't worth it. For Mr JWW, he's filfthy rich, problems like this are fixable with money. But when you daily a modern classic, it just ends up costing you thousands for a car that doesn't deliver much more than some modern cars. I had a horrible time with my 911 C4S unfortunately. One year ownership I paid out £6000.
With the monthlies and this costing, I could have got a much better car.
Dang what a beautiful Bentley next to the 918 , to bad it didn't got mentioned. To be driving that you must be a real Chad
Is this a scam message @mrjww ?
that push start was glorious
Taking our GT3 to spa for the GT Champs. We will keep our glass cleaner behind the seats. The boots get super hot!
That GT4RS in pts blue though
it's part of the charm lol...keeps you on your toes
What happened exactly? Seeing smoke coming from the engine is scary.
what year was it???
do you still have the f355?
You had to refuel 2x times from Valkenburg to Spa and back?😂👍
I know it’s not reliable, but man it’s beautiful. Next to modern day cars it makes them look less stylish
Take it back to the Muppets that sold it you 🤦
2 days is a record - most are broken before you take delivery - My Dino was a horrific money pit
Such a cool video with every mishap and quirk!
Goddamn that GS got a lil too close for comfort @8:09
These are old Ferraris, 30 years old. Today Ferraris are mire reliable then Toyotas. They have the best service plan out there.
Ferrari red is AMAZING
Damn that's some poor engineering. My same year JDM MR2 Turbo would smash that thing and then make it all the way across Europe and back without a single thing going wrong.
F 355...Like an airhead bikini model...great body and looks great but fails when it's time to perform, especially when you just wanna play ;)
Sounds like an incoming restomod. Modern classics really took a j curve
What a life!!!
Italian design and German enginering would be hit..
Color Name of the GT4Rs ?
Quality video man, had my laughing most the way through 😅
Recent update?
Who doesn't love a project car :)
News about this car and the future project?
I wonder how many people were
1. Born when this car was made or even...
2. Driving when this car was made?
Sounds like a big Chubb shile!
Learning, never ever shut down a classic car at the pumpstation. And i suggest you a nocobooster
Easy! Back to the dealer who sold it to you…. It’s been less than a month. 👍
You cannot charge a dead battery - you cannot keep an old hose from splitting. These ‘concours’ Ferrari’s make my sides split. As soon as you drive them you get all the deferred issues that would have been solved in a regularly driven car. All hoses need replacing ASAP.
Seems like Ferarri ownership is a lot like Buell ownership.
6:17 Fondel, Fettel & Wank this thing?!
Belt tentioner failed.
Fun video.
Yeah…. Ouch. 🤦♂️
Don't these set on fire
Dead alternator I bet. Probably why the belt was slipping.
when u race and OLD horse..
Shit! Sorry to hear that
Alternator and belt needs changing. That’s why the belt slipped trying to keep up with the lack of charge.
Dig the 2000GT in one convoy shot🤩
Shame it's a great car but why are they so much money and there crap underneath really come on guys
Super famous to be one of the most unreliable Ferrari! Very expensive to maintain and very hard to resell. Good luck with it!
I don’t like it when people lean and rest their backside on my cars
Might have to get out engine service to make it more modern and upgrade the old parts
Hyndai has better warranty 😁
Oh, these are minor. One slipping belt and one rubber mounting.
