Gallardo owners
Discussion
Hi all,
Just bought a manual 53 reg Gallardo at the weekend and would benefit any experiences from other Gallardo owners with troubles etc. I've heard horror stories about clutches lasting 2,000 miles. My car seems to have the following problems, has anyone else had similar?
1) Passenger side window dosen’t auto close (even after following the manual reset procedure). The windows don’t close from the remote key fob, which according to the owners book they should do.
2) 2nd gear is a swine to engage when its cold, but is better (not 100% though) when its warm. I spoke to lamborghini Manchester just, and the guy reckons it could have ‘the early clutch pack in’ which apparently has been a problem. So I said so that’s a warranty issue right? He said ‘its 50/50’. What the f..k does that mean? If there’s an issue I want it replaced at no charge. So I guess we’ll see what happens there. I asked the guy average clutch life….? 7-8,000 miles!! At £4,000 to replace, to me that is ridiculous.
3) Sometime if you pull off with not enough revs you get a clonking noise from the back, but then other times its fine.
4) Finally at the front there seems to be this kind of whining/creaking noise at low speed during turning i.e into junctions etc. The sales guy at the dealers said that this is normal and it’s the 4wd system making the noise.They've had 10 other gallardo's in and they all made that noise.
The car is totally awesome though a real head turner.
Thanks in advance
Andy.
