Hi Babybull89,

congrats on buying your 2011 LP550-2. You will love the car.

The LP series is very reliable. You have bought german reliability with beautiful Italian styling.

The only relative weak point in the lambo is the e-gear clutch. Not because of its design as it is a very reliable component but because of the way drivers use it.

Google up 'how to drive an e-gear Gallardo Lamborghini' and you will get a lot of good advice from the forums.

The key to maximising clutch life IMHO is to engage the clutch briskly when taking off or going in reverse, coast in neutral when coming to a stop, minimize reversing up steep inclines and driveways, never ever drive with your foot on the brake and the accelerator at the same time and drive in sport mode or even corsa-never auto.

cheers,

john
