Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 348 questions

There was also a Recall Campaign on the door latch pin. I would check to see if that has been done. This may affect the lack of "initial" opening if it is not releasing properly.

The door doesn't pop out, but it should not require much pulling to open either, if its very tight and requires some strength that would indicate some body damage, but I have also heard on the ts that they did not have a very stiff chassis, and would sag a bit in the middle, mine never did that but YMMV...  Check that the door hinges still have grease on them, probably just needs to be loosened up from sitting in a personal museum, which would be another indicator to steer clear or be ready to spend some cash getting it running properly again.

A friend of mine is looking at a 1994 348 ts Speciale.  I know...don't buy a 348.  I've tried all of the standard arguments against a 348 on him.   No luck.
Anyway, one of his questions after driving the car was "Is it normal to have to use two hands to open the doors? When I push the open button, I expected the doors to “pop” open, but they don’t. I’ve got to push the button with one hand and pull the door open with the other."  What say ye?
Thank you!
Christian
