I'm looking to buy a gallardo. Can anyone tell me what the oil pressure should be at tickover and high revs?

Any other useful buying tips would be useful...

I've read lots on the clutches but not been able to find any threads on other common faluts to look for.

Not sure about oil level etc.

In terms of clutches; in a pre purschase inspection you could get an e-gear clutch checked on a laptop and see how much you have left in it.
From my understanding with a manual you could get a fair view if you get it on a ramp. Crucially, find out when the clutch was last replaced.
'Average' wear on a manual is circa 9,000 miles (Ive heard that some have been burnt out in 1,000 miles, and others still going at 30,000miles)...
Mine has done 20,000 miles and is still on the original - so I brought it with the understanding that its akin to leerdammer cheese and to have circa £3.2K at the ready.....
