Boy Jabba working on that thing looks like a headache If you going to have friends work on it maybe consider getting the service manuals for it. I can't imagine what they cost for a diablo or if they even offer to sell them but it might help diagnosing in the future.

Damn. I missed the broadcast. Anyone doing Caps? I hope someone caps the next JabbaCast... Its not every day you see nuts and bolts coming off a Lambo. Thats got to mean something to the avid Lambo enthusiast! Like myself. Someone please cap the next operating proceedure. The JabbaCast is out of some of our time-zones sadly :roll:

OK much better news tonight...everything went very smoothly indeed...until we noticed a split in the pipe....after re-fitting it....and of course the coolent started leaking out....so we had to turn the pipe around (the split wasnt an issue at the other end of the connector) anyway in the process of turning the pipe around...we lost the £15 worth of coolent we just put in.....

Anyway after re-fitting the pipe and putting in another £15 of coolent everything seems to be perfect...no leaks and running at a steady 80 degrees....

We didnt have time for a test run....but we hope to get out tommorow night for some extensive performance testing (we will be taking the cam) and as its Friday night....then there should be plenty of ricers about...for the Diablo to feed on....

I’m glad every thing worked out for you. Are you going to make a video of you smoking the ricers?

Glad to hear that you got it all figured out! That is one clean engine! Most engines have all kinds of dirt and grime all over them. LOL
Since you are taking the video camera, can we expect some Diablo smackdowns?
Funny thing is, is that I would rev any piece of shit at a Diablo just to hear the Diablo rev back!
