Richard,

I've got a few bits for my Maserati from this place, they have an even larger stock of Ferrari parts so may be worth a try if you have had no luck

I'd second Eurospares. Used them many a time for Lamborghini, Maserati and Ferrari stuff.

Yup, power-on oversteer and high kerb

Cheapest diff so far is a reconditioned unit at £5,500 with about a grand and a bits worth of labour

Fortunately the 'Rari doesn't belong to me

thats the problem with driving with no socks on, sweaty feet can cause loss of grip on the brake pedal

Maybe worthwhile to check with Cleave Motor Salvage in Gloucester here:

http://www.cleavemotorsalvage.com/

Amazing some of the stuff they get there - direct from the Insurance companies..... I and several friends have purchased 'damaged repairables' there as well as difficult parts....
