New 456

AndrewD · 10-26-2010, 04:37 PM

I just brought a 456 GT into Canada (Stoffville) Blue ,manual,great price.Manufactured Aug.95, so no RIV bullshit. One problem, not really used at all in the last 6 years, has only 20,000 miles. Have my own shop and hoist,but experience only working on Porsche, Maserati(old) Jaguar(XK8) and a very old Aston. Car came with no manuals or records. Starting to figure out all the things like electricals, which don't funtion properly(is Marelli related to Lucas?) Some questions- Whats the spare supposed to look like? Little yellow light left upper corner on dash on? One headlight not going up?Directional signals intermittent,why? Where is the fuse box? Radio completely dead(its the car with the very shallow sending unit in the console). In process of sorting out the usual window gaps but not at $12,000.Needs e-test ,456 arn't on the Ontario drive clean programme.Motor seems great, car is a blast on the road .Not milage for belts but would they be worth doing anyway? Any answers out there?no hurry. Andy. Thanks in advance.
