A leaky one at that
Expensive but fantastic service so I guess somewhat lessens the blow.
Said this to you on messenger I can service the 458, 600LT, Exige, Alfa and Yaris and still have change from 5k.
Yea, its the one part that really stings in lambo ownership, even if it is a v12, 5k on this service and then another 2k for an oil and filter is a bit sadface.

Those are some spendy spark plugs.
Sadly Lucas passed away on Sunday after putting up a valiant fight against this horrible disease.
While they tried everything they could including enrolling him in various clinical trials and new medications, ultimately this is still a condition that is terminal on diagnosis.
I lost my grandad this Sunday also, so I must say this news has hit me for two, and an open invitation has been put out for his funeral, which, a number of the car guys are discussing attending as a send off to this brave and young petrolhead.

That's crap news. Hope they both receive a fantastic send-off.
C’mon, spill….

Long story short, imo, they didnt want to have the judgement of one of their officers put under scrutiny, and with my badgering for the statements of the other officers, and the mysteriously missing camera footage, it never made it to the court date.
Ultimately, given by the time if it made it into court, the judgement handed out and the warning quashed from police records, it would have been nearly 12 months on and the warning expired, one could argue they "won" regardless.
Also made several procedural mistakes due to having to learn as I went along, which meant I only got to recover my court costs and not any billable time. So no fat payday either.
However, to be proved right is the most important thing, and with the knowledge I now have on top of the hidden(ish) dashcams, will happy go another round with any irate idiot officer who pulls me in the future.
Similar to my old man who pulled out on a traffic cop doing 120mph without blues on a busy M6. We could prove the Bobby was driving dangerously and they obviously wouldn't want that testing in court so they never showed up.

So its been a bit cold as some of you may have noticed.
Unfortunately on a drive out, I went to use the windscreen washers and nothing happened. I thought it may have just been so cold that the screenwash had frozen in the lines. However on getting home and opening the frunk up... well... not quite.
Pulled the front end out and dried off the battery, supercap, connections etc and covered it all up.
As it is quite nice today, got it all re-assembled, new battery monitor hooked up, new ctek quick connect cables hooked up also.
All tested, working, car starts, happy days, and can now monitor the battery charge once again.
The only thing I may do is run the ctek cable down the back of the car and hook up a quick connect there somehow, just to make it easier than having to run an extension out to the front of the car. But will need a ramp for that to be honest as the trays will need to come off.
