New toy ,Gallardo
Discussion
Hi
Well the plans come together,i like to push myself,and that was a big one.
I love it,got loads of questions, but if i become a pita i`ll get my coat
.
Will try and do a lot of the service work myself.
That might be a challenge in itself.
It is pretty clean,but i like to go the extra mile.so the big tidy is on,wheels off just to start.
Ah 1st question before i do something stupid,where are the best jacking points,seems to be a lot of
aluminum under there so don`t want to bend anything.
It has been great having a bit of time over xmas to enjoy it and read the owners book.
Got loads of things i want to do to it,in a nice way i hope,black wheels yellow calipers
window tint just to start of with.
Oh and just drive the thing right. pic time...................
cheers

I will very interested to hear how you get on servicing and maintaining the Gallardo, I have largely taken to doing all the servicing on my Cerbera these days, obviously a bit easier to work on as the cerb is not a mid-engine layout but still has its challenges.
I have always had a hankering for a Lambo, probably where my heart will guide me next with a bit of luck, but what puts me off are specialist garage prices like 5k for clutch replacement, though I may be thinking on the murcielago there!
Your main problem, I would have thought, will be getting hold of service information as presumably Gallardo workshop manuals are closely guarded secret materials?
The other bit of kit I think you will need is a good engine hoist.
Good luck and enjoy, keep us posted how you get on.
Enjoy What a nice bunch you guys are

Congrats on the purchase, Looks Very nice!!
The workshop manual is available on disk - albeit copys of course
, I did have a copy a couple of years back - I will see if i can dig it out for you.
As for clutches, They're not too bad and can easily be done in a day with some help and an engine hoist.
Also it's worth bearing in mind if you intend to do work on it yourself;
The Front brake discs and pads are direct Audi RS4 fitment, And i beleive the rears may now be the same as the R8 or newer RS6.
Ok they do have Audi badges but when your saving over £1500 for the sake of a badge when the equipment is the same who cares?
