I dropped the Lambo at Embelm yesterday as there's a bearing whine, waiting for the diagnosis at the mo.
Hoping it's just a wheel bearing and nothing major in the gearbox :(

Also Hoping that it's mended in time!!

Fingers crossed here Dan. I got my wheels repainted last week now the only thing externally letting the car down is my rusty nuts. Hope my new nuts turn up before next week!

Balls, what else have you got available for you to bring, its gotabe fast or you won't keep up ;-)

When you say bearing wine, is it revs related or speed related or nether?

It's road speed related, not gear specific.

So I was thinking wheel bearing or some kind of final drive bearing.

Krickey, its going to be tight to get that done.

Does your Lambo not have a warranty?...is it in at Emlem as they are closer?

Did you get my email yesterday about meeting up at Gun Wharf before the off next Wed for an early start?

Yep, just back from seeing Miles and taking him out to point out the noise.
Looks like we're going to try an oil change in the gearbox first and see what happens as it's not a wheel bearing.
He doesn't seem overly concerned so far, so fingers crossed...

Wouldn't have thought that the gearbox oil is that tired already , UNLESS its been missed off a service or 2 , be great if it does the trick , pinkies crossed for you Dan , was hoping for a decent ride sometime over the break

When you experience the gear changes Loz, you will wonder how the gearbox is still attached to the engine. They go in with a bang, that's for sure. Fairly brutal.

Good man Paul, what happened to you at the SM doo a few weeks ago, did you get lost?

Hi Matt, mmm,

The query with my car re-occurred, so off it went to Emblem and a new starter motor later and all is well again!! The thing had been replaced no more than 8 months previously, so will look into the reasons why?

But its all good now looking forward to next week!!!

That sounds like you have the old water manifold leak dripping on the starter. I would check that otherwise you will be replacing it again come the spring!
