    ****
    My TPMS went out about 10 years ago. IIRC, I was told the "controller" board was bad and it was several thousand for replacement. I elected to turn it off. Any recent info on repair of TPMS?

    I had my TPMS softwared out, so not an issue for me. Usually TPMS issues are sensor related. Something more, not sure on the best avenue except get another opinion.

    Agree 100%. Cool to follow your thread!

    This is from today. On mini new years eve. All my friends in Norway are knocking their head in the wall because they can’t drive their sportscars in the salt and snow while I drive V12 every now and then. Happy new year.

    cLyDe,
    Will you be doing the belt service yourself? Will you need any additional tools?

    You can try a good injection cleaner. Cheap 1st try fix. The SLOW DOWN comes on if it is too much unburnt fuel in the exhaust after the catalyzer(s). It is also possible that the cold weather gives a very rich mixture, but it should not ask you to slow down. Keep the updates coming. :) Erik

    I think the mixture was just too rich then the computer fixed it
    no issues so far after a 1000 mile run
    put a bottle of techron in the tank on te run home from MCO
    oh yea then right after the slow down light came on and the car did slow down I might add
    when I shut it down I got the triangles under the wheels
    that cleared it self as well
    I think my car is use to being on the road around 500 miles a month and I haven't been doing that so I am getting these faults
    but like I said I put over 1000 miles on the car after I had these minor faults and they never showed up again.

    I just did a brake flush n the 575
    it was a major deal
    the outer calipers were all clogged and I had to use suction to remove the blockage which is rare for me.
    usually I use a pressure bleeder and it works fine, but not in this case, the inner parts of the caliper were fine I had a steady stream of brake fluid, but not so on the outer side.
    I do the majority of my own work on all the Ferraris I have ever owned.
    for a while there I thought I was going to have to remove the crossover line on the calipers to clear the blockage.
    anyway its done and its on my log to do this brake flush every fall
