I'm guessing that's not a cheap bill? What do you do with the old engine? Can I buy a header, con rod or piston?

Car was driven on no coolant (cracked radiator). The engine temp reached 176°c and boiled the oil, which went through the PCV system into the engine and out the exhaust. Then the engine seized due to low oil. The intake and exhaust system were filled with burnt oil.

My thoughts exactly! Lord knows Ferrari dash boards always have lights on let alone when the engine is headed for imminent disaster.

Interesting but uncool(...) story.

This is a new car so doesn't have it any warranty and/or are you(TS) officially certified , just asking.

One of my mates is working at a Ferrari dealership near Amsterdam, a few months ago he brought a F12. I wasn't at home...

Cheers
