Default Learning from their mistakes

Before anyone purchases an 04 Gallardo they should make sure all of the warranty repairs were completed. Many owners were never notified of the warranty work that they would have received for free (kind of like an unofficial recall on a slew of items). If you buy the service manual from lambostuff.com ($135 i think) the first few pages list all of the updates that the car required to bring it up to date. There is a lot of them. I made sure from the service records that my 04 had all of the service updates before I purchased it. I even got a Tubi exhuast out of the deal.

To answer your question, It appears that they have addressed the issues in future models since I haven't heard complaints about them in 05's and beyond. Despite the numerous updates to the car noted in the sevice manual my car required the adjustments noted in the previous post. During the process I notice other hoses that ran over the frame and could have been a source for noise. I used wire ties and wire tie adhesive blocks to lock them down and they all went away.
