Positive Gallardo clutch feedback..for a change!!!
Discussion
An update of where my Gallardo's at:-
Left it with Lambo Manchester for a service, replacement clutch as it was juddering upon take up(@ 4,000 miles!!) and fitting of a tubi system, whilst I was overseas on business.
The clutch upon inspection was found to be very worn on one plate and worn heavily in one place on the second (this was what was causing the juddering apparrently). The clutch was replaced with the latest Rev C clutch without any quibble at all under warranty. Well done to Lambo Manchester, as I'd heard previous horror stories about dealers trying to wriggle out of it.
With the addition of the tubi system, working air con and a new clutch the car has been totally tranformed, its an absolute joy to drive. Anyone without a Tubi system on their Gallardo MUST get one.
Cost for annual service and all of the above... £951 inc vat. Quite reasonable I thought.
Any other Gallardo owners care to comment on their service experiences?

I've been pretty happy with the car and the guys at Modena Cars High Wycombe.
I woke up one morning and went to reverse the car out of the drive. Heard this clunking noise as the wheels went around, so stopped and called Alan over at Modena.
He went off spoke to the engineers and said they had advised it may not be safe to bring it in myself. They sent a truck over there and then.
Couple of hours later got a call back saying the pads had stuck to the rotors for some reason (Good thing I heard it and stopped straight away, or I would have been driving without brakes). Never seen it happened before.
I was expecting a similar scenario to that others have had with their clutches. But before I could get a word in he said this is obviously unacceptable. And they replaced the rotors, pads, whole lot. All under warranty, without an argument.
