We decided to leave the alternator off, but as you can see you do not need too high a lift to get it back in again complete.

Running again soon

I am glad I have two of those wheels, they make life much easier when doing this sort of work.

Hi Terry,
Back on line for a night...Hope you're feeling ok.
It seems all your pics have been spoiled during the last shut down..
Tahiti is being overhauled now in Marcel's workshop in Switzerland. I should stop there by mid-January, and will make some pics too. We got a bit worried last time when I found oil in the water circuit. It's probably not that bad, and we had a few ideas of what the problem might be despite all pressures and temps ok, but I went for the big thing too (Raymond's idea I told my girl, hehe..)...complete overall, engine, carbs and replacement of all gaskets (probably head gaskets too..)...
Hopefully it'll be ready for April
I'm still stuck offshore Nigeria, and I can't wait to get my hands inside the heart of the old lady. Will post some pics asap.
By the way, let me know about the P0's when you have a minute.
Cheers

Hi Terry, looks very nice, just the yellow silicone tubes are not my thing... and the air tubes would be better in black.
IMO the engine should show for itself not necessary details...

Hi Raymond,

Yes I wondered about the tubes. The answer is I wanted a set that were going to last for ever. These are hand made in the UK and the choice of colours was yellow or blue, If you have a stock car they can supply kits but for the CT they have to be hand made.

The price for a hand made set was less than it would have cost me to buy them all new from Lamborghini London.

At least I can see how complicated the water and oil systems are now. I also replaced every oil line.

The dash is supposed to be back this week so hopefully a test drive then final tuning. We know we have to do at least one tappet, perhaps more.

Hi Terry,
Woww..nice.
I think the yellow pipes are ok with the black car..but I agree with Raymond..the orange or red air pipes should be black
Anyway, congratulations for all this work. enjoy your test drives !

Just received your PM. Thanks. Does 'not too cheap' mean very expensive, or was it for 'not too expensive'.. I'll get back to you tonight if this damn satellite let me
