[@brianmontgomery6834]

I just watched the Eurospares video!!! Amazing, I look forward to the future on your channel and love your videos :)

[@micared1]

Enjoy every minute you have with your father.

[@Garg3984]

This

[@marktaylor6359]

Amen to that

[@Nige1146]

1 day they're doing the jobs. Then you're helping them. Before you know it they're helping you and then you're doing the jobs for them! Savour every moment!

[@TheOriginal_BigMac]

You only get one, and when they're gone they're gone

[@bastogne315]

​@@TheOriginal_BigMacyep they can snuff it real quick.

[@FFS__Dave]

There are 2 types of Bosch 5 pin relays. The PIN numbers tell you what they do. 30 12v permanent 87 Output (normally open) 85 ground 86 swing signal Here’s where it matters. 87a secondary output (linked to 87) normally open 87b Normally closed (does the opposite of what 87a does) Getting the wrong relay will cause the issues you have experienced. In any case, you fixed it but worth bearing in mind for future projects. Cheers Scott Love you man.

[@Ratarossa]

Great to know

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Brilliant as always Scott, and lovely to see you working with your Dad. I lost my Dad a couple of years ago and not a day goes by where I don't think about him and miss him like crazy. Cherish these days Scott because when they are gone all we have left is our memories!!! 👍

[@manisbho]

Bless your dad Scott, my dad turns 70 in August and he still races around in an RS3 Saloon! What a guy! I always get sad realising I have less time with him than that is behind us. Family is everything indeed.

[@Ratarossa]

He's one cool cat in his RS3. Happy 70th to your dad this month

[@organiccold]

You should bring your father more often 😂 he is funny

[@valmontsibbo]

I always think it's good to play off each other, like Mat Armstrongand dad. Brilliant and more engaging !

[@Ninakoklahombi]

Love it. Spend as much time with your dad as you can. They are a treasure that we never back.

[@ideabrickworks9043]

Lost my Dad a little over a year ago, so treasure your time. He got me into this mess called sports cars, and was my partner in crime to the end! Miss him every day.

[@SurfGreenTelecaster]

Me too, lost my Dad last August...still feels like yesterday.

[@laurencecorbett4290]

I have been following your channel for a few years now. Always fascinating and enjoyable. Keep up the good work. Great to see your dad taking part. Looking forward to the next episode

[@iangrumpypirate568donovan3]

Everything went right. Your dad is the bringer of good fortune.

[@bullseye63]

Excellent video again. Brought back lots of lovely memories I have with my Dad too. In fact, we had a spookily similar experience when I picked up my first Ferrari - a silver 308GT4! Dad followed me back with some spares that came with the car and when we got home the very same hose had split under the carburettors! I was also lucky to have worked with my Dad and share a love of cars and trucks. He was my best mate until I lost him two and a half years ago but I'm very lucky to have loads of great memories with him.

[@rugu6869]

Great to see progress on the 308! I miss the Easter eggs for the F40 build at the end of your videos. Can't wait for the next update.

[@Ratarossa]

ohhh yes more easter eggs. I just puta good one out on instagram

[@davidchipling7876]

Cmon Scott more content please !

[@bumblebee-mygt867]

Are you OK Scott. It's all gone very quiet.

[@freddythefrog70]

I haven't spoke to my dad for 4 years, he is a narcissistic evil man. You are so lucky to have a great man as your dad, I'm so envious of people who have lovely, supportive parents that would do anything for their children. Hope you've give your dad one of your many Ferraris? He deserves one....a reliable one if that exists?

[@wayned3122]

Poor Dad, just isnt used to the narration. LOL Thats OK Dad, great to have you there!

[@staipari6244]

Can't lie, I've thought about how strange you must look to the neighbours working on your cars in the driveway talking away to to your invisible audience (yourself/your phone). Your dad answering for us cracked me up!

[@RollingRoadEFI]

I hope you're busy with the coolest of projects. All the best from Southwest Florida. Fingers crossed we don't float away this week.

[@bogdankindris1115]

Hey,bring Dad back anytime 😂

[@L_i_amMc]

Good to see you working with PapaRossa 👊

[@valmontsibbo]

Love Paparossa name

[@AlisonCassidy]

That was awesome! More Scott’s dad, please - he’s great :)

[@SteveBigTaco]

Great episode!!!🤙

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks so much Steve

[@chrisrawle2967]

Hope all is well

[@simonrowlands297]

Lucky man: I wish that I had had that sort of relationship with my father.

[@stephensimpson5283]

Mate, more of your Dad. Had me in tears lol.

[@The_Duffy_family]

Special times with dad I’m very jealous make sure you appreciate every day you spend with that man.

[@thecountsaintgermaine7937]

Ahh! After a tough day, it's great to get a Ratarossa fix!

[@Ratarossa]

Thank you

[@ffonseca0]

Great to have your dad over to help! 😃

[@rob612]

Thats a fuel filler neck valve to stop anyone placing a diesel nozzle in its sized for petrol and its not the first Mercedes part ive seen on a Ferrari either

[@bobrose513]

Hi Scott hope your well my friend. I know you have had a few horrible problems lately with the house, then getting broken into and having your tools and kit stolen. Some people are just scumbags.. anyway buddy are going to be getting back into putting out more videos on a more regular basis. I keep seeing on your KZbin saying. A new video, but it still seems to be the one with your dad. So just wondering if your going to do more soon, I'm sure there are lots of things going on in the background, after having the problems. Hope all is good and hope to see more stuff soon. Kind regards Bob Rose Northampton.

[@jimcw]

More PapaRossa in the vids would be great! Working on cars with your dad is special to so many of us ❤

[@apb3251]

Dad input reminds me of the son/dad combo in Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

[@chrisdesmarais4034]

R, the brass impeller water pump is very valuable and can be rebuilt. So sell it for good $$.

[@nicholastaylor1546]

This is definitely the best video ever with your dad - there is nothing better than spending time on a project you both love with your dad ❤

[@jaswingrove]

You ok mate? been a while between drinks for us loyal subscribers

[@bumblebee-mygt867]

It's great when a plan comes together. Nice to see your dad as well.

[@nigelbullock9039]

Great video. It was hilarious to see you both having so much fun.

[@James.9D]

Great video Scott, Grandad Rod funny as always

[@Ratarossa]

Ahhh thanks James

[@jamierobertson9733]

If these F40 rumours are true then its personally my most anticipated KZbin build ever. CANNOT WAIT.

[@chuggies]

Get your dad involved in the channel. My best memories of my time with my dad are working on cars together, from; classics, exotics to regular cars.

[@Simplyput3451]

It's great to have a second set of hands from someone you have fun working with. Great times with your Dad!

[@Ratarossa]

Totally agree, really helped and loved working with Dad

[@Mr_kay240]

Working on cool cars with your dad is one of life's truly great experiences.

[@hansdegeytere]

For a second I thought it was Jack (from Number 27) :D

[@Ratarossa]

Sooooo funny

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

You are truly missed!

[@memorialgardens1664]

Great you spent time together……… wish I could have had a little bit more time with my old man. Time is precious good video nice when things go your way!!!!!🧠💪💕💯.🙏

[@bountyhuntermk2520]

Love the content Scott BBi update? Your dad is brilliant, get him back on the channel soon

[@Ratarossa]

Did a little BBi update on Instagram this week. But currently editing and filming the update right this moment

[@Eatongee]

Where have you been brother? We miss you!

[@Aearonjer]

Working with Dad is always awesome.

[@markrivers2651]

Great video. From the thumbnail I watched expecting to find “Dad” was help from Jack @ #27 - not your actual “Dad” 🤣🤦‍♂️!!! What a nice guy, and must be so nice for him to appear with you and support your Ferrari adventures/headaches - nice one Scott 👍

[@Ratarossa]

Thanks buddy, that did make me laugh ...i'll send Jack your comment

[@markrivers2651]

@@Ratarossa 🤣! From the thumbnail viewed on my phone I thought it was Jack - figured you were brainstorming together over shared 308 headaches and knew you’d collaborated in a vid together before (which was excellent btw). I’m a keen 44teeth fan and Chris and Fagan regularly refer to Chopsy (Lamb Chop Rides) as their Dad, so I thought that was your banner! It was great to find it was your actual Dad though. Thanks again for all the great content you put out - it can’t be easy to do and we all really appreciate it. Can’t wait to get on to the F40 build and see a finished BB 🤩🥳

[@conniebenny]

Excellent job! Well done to you and your dad for finally fixing your troublesome pop-ups! This car will not get the best of you, so keep at it and it will soon be back on the road and driving like a dream 🙂

[@ImranKhan-iq2gf]

So good to see you working with your father, you should definitely bring him on to the channel more often Scott

[@jamesbensley7914]

Gutted to hear about the break in, that has got to hurt but you will be just fine i'm sure. Like the new addition to the channel, he seems like a great bloke.

[@waymanbarneyawesomecardude9561]

Loved the content, youve got a great relationship with your father❤

[@deadpoolredsuit4892]

The 308 seems almost there.. thanks for the video! ^_^

[@tonygSDWR]

I demand you bring your Dad in your videos on a regular basis.

[@rogercollins2653]

So awesome to see working with Dad I believe your water pump is the reason why that belt stopped and why that belt burned it was not the other way around the belt did not hurt water pump The water pump stopped the belt. And of course I've never owned or worked on a Ferrari so maybe I'm wrong but in most cases like this the water pump is the reason for the belt failure not the other way around. And my little town here in my state I walked outside of the Costco during this powder blue Ferrari sitting there in the parking lot and I had that gone in 60 seconds. The only way I'm going to ever drive a Ferrari is if I steal it and I thought of myself oh my goodness and I thought well maybe I'll wait for the owner to come on out and at least have a cold start and I did that that was it doesn't start it just it took off like a jet plane yeah

[@Ratarossa]

thanks buddy great comment... I agree it was the water pump

[@BobBob-sm3sn]

Hello Scott.. hope all is well.. when is the next video coming out

[@j308s7]

There is a V12 F40 recreation from original tub listed on Silverstone Auctions Competition cars upcoming August auction.Have a look Scott.

[@Jasonj___8]

Hey Scott great to see Ratarossa Snr in the mix!!!!! 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@eduardofukay]

Great to have your dad working with you.

[@keithsutherland9800]

Great video Scott,,, and your Dad made it better 😊,,,, the right side of a car is looking forward from the rear, lol,

[@fhm5384]

DadaRossa should make more appearances! He is a great addition.

[@kevat310]

Best vid yet!! Dad is great!

[@JoshuaSangalo]

love your videos man do more

[@jukkaaunola5942]

Ferrari has used Mercedes door closing locks...not the key lock but the one that secures a door to body 😊

[@Ratarossa]

Ahhh yes very true, that lock is used on everything from BBi to F40 .... but is it Mercedes or do they both use the same lock brand. Theres no Merc lock on the lock ?

[@animalbonanza9521]

The door latches and striker plates are of a mercedes 107 sl , also I think parts of the pop up lights are porsche 914.

[@jimbeck8082]

Excellent maniacal laughter !

[@ianmangham4570]

Barstewards stealing his gear 😮

[@j308s7]

Fixed my 308 headlights with Porsche 924 relays,worked a treat!

[@realbogus]

So neat Watchung you and your Dad work together. My Dad died in 1977. I was 11. 😢

[@Ratarossa]

sorry to hear that buddy. I dont get to see Dad enough and i'm very blessed to be able to do this video with him.

[@zumwild]

Clean every relay inside, polish contacts with wet n dry, redo dodgy looking solder joints. Better than dodgy new ones you get today! Worn or hard seal let water into the bearing. A new bearing for £5 is all the pump needs. Don't throw the original Ferrari pump it is a work of art. Save the genuine old water pump. It is your pension fund. Genuine Ferrari will soo be worth more than a repro. 2 days spent cleaning all relays, all blade connectors and fuses, bulbs and sockets (replace dodgy black bulbs etc), clean inside switches, oil door locks and hinges, replace all hoses, water, fuel, brake. Clean windows inside and out. Take seats out for space, and clean them out of the car. Your barn find is transformed! Do this before you start any repair work! Saves literally days of fault finding!

[@raydm4015]

We need updates.. 😢

[@fatherandsonsferrarirescue]

Great video really enjoyed the working with your dad. I can say it’s so much more fun when my son is available to help out on our content.

[@michaelcaldicott3580]

How about some new content? Once a month not enough

[@askor786]

Bruh you been gone for over 2 months, NOT HAPPY!!!!

[@tonymontana897]

Nice work Buddy. Great to see your old man getting in the spirit of things. My dad never gave a shit about anything I did.

[@mikhailserebrennikov7017]

Keep your dad on the channel! You two together are hilarious 😄 Dad-a-Rossa

[@windronner1]

I’m actually more relieved you cornered the electrical pop ups than if it were my car. LoL. Keep’em moving. 👍

[@klobucarpa]

Ford Probes used to have same headlight issues. Typically a short somewhere.

[@kelsyschoenhaar8717]

So nice to see dad. :-)

[@motorclaimguru]

Great vid matey, hilarious, and fabulous that it is finally behaving itself

[@michaelmccann4706]

A good example of the Tree and the Apple working together 👍

[@reedjacksonmaccom]

Nice vid. Keep making these very simple vids. Might be less stressful for you. We can wait for projects to be completed. You’re the entertainment.

[@andrewnevermind4902]

I really like these videos too.

[@nakmas73]

Man speaks sense

[@jackhydrazine1376]

I gave you a thumbs up simply because Paparossa was in this video!

[@brrt1982]

Epic father & son time!

[@martinstyren]

Love to see a second channel with full builds like Mat's mk2

[@Ratarossa]

Ive considered doing that and more behind the scenes when I start the F40 rebuild

[@golf5001]

I've got Reolink cameras and they really are very good. Only problem is that they don't pick up number plates very well but very few cameras do.

[@Ratarossa]

I think they are fantastic and have some great features. I'm guessing with the plates because they are reflective it interferes with the views ? Mine certainly picked up the plates at night around my unit when i panned around

[@ddewit1969]

Man that was funny I am a carpenter and when I worked with my dad it always was funny working with him give that 308 to your dad greeting from Holland 🇳🇱

[@susannero6401]

The grey 308 is beautiful. Question: when you run the car after the water pump replacement, I assume you had already done the cam belts, right? Because you have to remove that coolant pipe to install the belts and it wouldn't make any sense to drain and refill the coolant system. Looking forward to that video, as I just finished that job on my Mondial.

[@Ratarossa]

Not yet buddy, I topped up the coolant as didnt drain the whole system. Belts have now been done and yes I did have to remove the pipe once again to do that

[@thechristian1975]

Gear content Scott. Worth the wait

[@honda4185]

I would say.. always film with your dad!! Just let him talk and go into camera.. that makes it even more awsome content and makes it more fun! 😃

[@solidfawx]

Just interact with your dad, and talk to the camera. If he answers when you're talking to the camera, so what. That's what makes good memories and content is just a bonus.

[@bobspatafore3056]

Glad you made some progress on that car

[@stuffhappens5681]

When it comes to relays on old Italian cars it’s confusing because other than a few obvious parameters replacing a relay with another one of the exact same type can result in headaches that don’t make sense. Is it electronic back flow from the coil? Is it because the old relays are encased in metal and new ones in plastic? I’ve never understood how replacing a relay with one that’s rated same and configured the same (everything is same!) can be so challenging?

[@arjenwennekes]

I liked this Episode! 👍🏻

[@Ratarossa]

Thank you

[@PatrickHostler]

More films with Papa… we like him!!!

[@ifitsrusteditsmine]

Ratadad, you rock.

[@KurtAndresKA]

You know when its difficult time when you have to ask for help to your dad 😂❤

[@Ratarossa]

desperate measures LOL

[@hgvenom]

Why keep those old relays installed? Are not generic new relays compatible (either 4 pin o 5 pin)? Old as they are they may fail any moment

[@Ratarossa]

Partly agree, with cars like this retaining as much originality as possible is quite important

[@jamesread11]

Old boy was hilarious
