The Cryptolambo had gone to the moon... Time for Cryptolambo 2!!!

Yea, so theres 12 bolts to remove the shaft, which then exposes a nut which holds a flange and a standard oil ring seal.

The seal is £84, the flange is £420 and the nut a modest £33. Plus probably 2 hours lambo labor and transmission fluid :D
 
Lambo confirmed the leak was from the flange but going to completely re-do the whole assembly because its only a little bit more.

Total cost: £914. With £901 covered under warranty.

Just waiting on parts to turn up now so have the car back in the meantime.

Taking time unfortunately. However as of this post every application / request made by myself or WMP has been ruled in my favor.

I currently have an application in to strike out WMP defense and award default judgement to myself as evidence which should have been preserved has been deleted / lost.

Its a bit of a stretch but ultimately it isnt for the police to decide what evidence is or isnt relevant to a judicial review, it is the court, so hopefully they get slapped for that.
 
Today was a special day.

On top of possibly the largest Lambo meet in the UK ever at Silverstone, I got to have dinner with and a chat with Mr Stephan Winkelmann, the CEO of Lamborghini.

Before we departed I just had to get a picture with him. Such a nice gentleman. Shame my crappy phone camera wasnt up to the task :cry:

So car was in for a service and with it the repair on the leaking gearbox.

Asked them to get some photos of it, and they did!

Into Lamborghini Birminghams new state of the art service center. You may spot some very nice rare beauties on the ramps also.

Up she goes!

First thing first, lots of gearbox oil needs to be taken out.

Quite a lot....

Next, support the gearbox as the front brace needs to be removed.

I actually have no idea what that thick ass cable does.

And from the other direction going into the front diff.

Remove the cardan shaft which sends power to the front diff.

While it was in there it had a full service.

The big one.

The butt clenching one.

Unfortunately this is where lambo still have some catching up to do with their competitors, while they try to spread out the service items, every now and then you get this service where they do *gestures at the entire car* pretty much everything.

On top of the service items being replaced, everything else is inspected for tolerances also, you get charged ~12 hours labor at lambo main dealer rates.

Thats net price, VAT on top.
