  10. Aventador - The Ultimate Guide Documentary

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    Dear Aventador owners, I'm a surgeon from the UK and Aventador owner. I would appreciate you all watching this documentary on the Aventador that I wrote and narrated and sharing your feedback. It forms the basis of the book I'm writing on the Aventador. Also, you may find subscribing to my channel interesting as I own a Murcielago too. The channel is Grigio GT as all the cars I own are grey! 
     
     

    If one of you owns any of the special editions Centanario, Veneno, or has put an order in for the Sian you could message me privately. I have a close friend in the USA who is also a Murcielago owner and I would love to get your experience of owning the car as well as SLR high resolution copyright free photos for the book.

    I'm co-authoring the book with Dr Pathmanathan who wrote the Murcielago book and who owns a Countach and a Murcielago.

    Thank you everyone.

    So I am giving serious consideration to finally parting ways with my 2007 MANUAL LP640 coupe in Monterey blue...

     

    I have owned it for over 6 years now and it currently has 47K miles on the clock (bought it with Roy's help with about 30K miles) and have babied it since then.

     

    I have someone offering me what I think is fair money and so I am contemplating make the move to a LP640 Roadster (not manual...)

     

    Thanks.

    Hi, I personally wouldn’t. There will never be another manual V12 Lamborghini. That’s why I advised my close friend Philip to buy whatever he could afford and keep hold of it. We both own manual Murcielago’s. Even Max Venturi and Georgio Sanna (development test drivers for the Murcielago) advised me never to sell (and I had a really rough patch last year sorting out careless mistakes by technicians at much expense). I wouldn’t swap a manual car for an e-gear car as the manual transmission according to the test drivers was better suited to the weight and set up of the car. The e-gear had to be introduced to show Lamborghini were “keeping up”. The colour and mileage are not factors. In the UK, we seem to have exotics with higher mileage and the mileage shows your car is healthy! I have had my car valued by our UK club officials and Footman James (of Harry’s garage) and yes, the car has appreciated - Thank Goodness! Also ask Polo Storocio when your car is going to become eligible for certification as on official Lamborghini certified classic. The Diablo 6.0 became eligible last year so the Murcielago is next. My friend Philip also taught me how to prepare cars for Concours entry and by winning prizes in that scene will add value to your already beautiful and rare car.

    Thanks for the clarification, I have a Balloon white Murci and after 10 years need to have the clear bra changed as it is going yellow, fingers crossed please?

    Do you know why he had it unwrapped ?

    Paul just wanted to get the car back to the white. Also the red stitching didn’t match the yellow brake callipers he had already envisioned.

     

     

  15. Air con not working

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    I need advice on possible diagnoses for my air con which isn't working on my Murcielago 2003.

     

    The air con was re-gassed by the local independent I used. However, it's not blowing ice cold. The independent shop stated that they will need more time to find the diagnosis, but there were no leaks detected when they tested the system. It's not something that I'm going to rush into.

     

     

     

  21. For DIY: Sad but interesting Murci dissection video

    in Archived Content

    Posted

    Here's a video that is interesting and sad (don't worry, it's not a manual transmission Murci) of the breaking of a wrecked Murci for DIY'ers. It shows the location and access routes to many parts on the interior and engine compartment that you wouldn't normally be able to see without tearing apart your car.

     

     

    Really useful and interesting video despite it being hard not to think what happened to the occupants. Thanks!

    The early M had problems with instrument clusters. If I remember correctly there may have been a recall on them at one point.

     

    Timely that this has come up on the forum. I found that when I disconnected my battery and reconnected, I got a DEF message over the mileage reading. The speedo didn't work. However, after two cycles of switching the ignition to position one i.e. switch on-switch off x2 the DEF message goes and is replaced by the total trip mileage. The speedo then works. I've done this twice now and it's exactly the same procedure each time. Not sure why this is the case. If anyone has any ideas, I would be interested in hearing.

    Hey there everyone, has anyone had a problem with the speedometer in their car? mine is ok when i am gaining speed, but it stutters as i decrease speed. thanks, Stan

     

    Hi Stan,

    It's only 6 years since you wrote this and I'm not sure you are still using the forum or still have your Murcielago. My speedometer decided not to work today after I disconnected the battery.

     

     

  25. Aventador test drive

    Thanks for the review. I didn't realise the display was polarised. Also interesting to read you had an Esprit S4. I own an Esprit GT3 and the Aventador will be my next step up. I had a passenger ride in a model from the Knightsbridge, London showroom. It is such an amazing achievement. Great review.
