this was on the lambo website :evil:

Murcielago Recall / Campaign information

Campaign number 02 v 082 - April 2002

Date: 3/29/02

Vehicle: 2002 Lamborghini Murcielago - Steering Shaft Coupling Clearance

-----------------------------------------

Automobili Lamborghini S.P.A. has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in early production 2002 Murcielago models.

The lower steering column shaft coupling could seperate from the input shaft of the lower steering rack assembly becasue the steering coupler was not properly inserted onto the steering rack input shaft. This could cause the driver to lose the ability to control the vehicle resulting in a crash and possible occupant injury.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE UNTIL YOUR AUTHORIZED DEALER HAS DONE THE INSPECTION.

DO NOT DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS CAMPAIGN DONE, HAVE IT TOWED FOR SAFETY.

Vehicles affected

Lamborghini Murcielago, model year 2002

VIN: ZA9BC10U72LA12049 to ZA9BC10U92LA12104

ryan, the murcielago replaces the diablo

if you are keen on bulls and looking for info on all the lambos ever built

try, www.lambocars.com www.lamborghinilist.com or www.lamborghiniregistry.com

lambo cars has the best information and roman updates the site very regularly

did you know there was a TT version of the diablo of which only six were ever built for american distribution only but there was a seventh built by al bertoni

now look what you've done you got me started on lambos and i could sit here and rant on all day

check out the sites you will be lost for hours

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
