Live Web Broadcast (Lambo Surgery) Tonight..... (LINK UP)

[Jabba]

I am hoping to start broadcasting at around 6 PM GMT...I have very limited bandwidth...so you will require a password (PM me for one) to view the "operation" taking place....

[TT]

The show is almost ready to start :) if interested, tune to http://81.6.245.53:8080/

(no pass so far)

[Jabba]

Can anyone see the thermostat ???

[TT]

Dang, I was at the phone, now the broadcast is not working.. what happened?

[zr2man99]

What is this? Can someone explain?

[666fast]

What is this? Can someone explain?

Were watching Jabba trying to fix his Diablo. Like TT, it's not working for me. All i see is blue dots.

[Jabba]

Not good !!! it was not as easy as I was led to believe it was going to be....we managed to get the cover off....but couldnt identify where the thermostat was...although I am pretty sure its within that metal casing at the end of that large thick pipe in the middle...anyone got any thoughts on this...???

That is where I would think it would be. Is that the hose straight from the radiator?
Call a service center, Im sure they'll tell you right where it is.

[Jabba]

Yeh they did... thats why I am looking in that location...but I wasnt 100 % sure...I will email them the pictures tommorow....

[draak666]

Damn, that sucks. I wish I could help, but I'm afraid my knowledge of engines doesn't go that far. I've been teaching myself some superficial things on car engines. However, the thermostat was never mentioned. :( And judging by those pictures, it won't be easy to reach either. Do you have some assistance over there, Jabba?

[BADMIHAI]

damn it! I missed it!

[draak666]

damn it! I missed it!

Nothing happened yet. :?

[Jabba]

Yes it was transmitted for about 30 mins tonight.... TT saw it....but we only managed to get the cover off...yes I have some friends that are quite experienced...but I feel it could be a transporter job....back to lambo...

[Ziploc]

yea thats where it should be...is the camera facing the rear of the engine? or the front? :?

[Jabba]

yes the rear of the engine...(rear of the car)....

[aawil]

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.

[twboy1999]

jabba,, so is the car fix now??
or still just removed the engine cover

[Jabba]

Nope I am to hoping to have another look tommorow....once I have more information....

[sportVeloce]

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:

[Jabba]

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?http://www.ls1.com/forums/images/smilies/3gears.gifhttp://www.ls1.com/forums/images/smilies/slomo.gif

[TT]

I'm happy everything seems to be OK now! I'm crossing my fingers for tomorrow :)

[666fast]

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? :lol:
Funny thing is, is that I would rev any piece of shit at a Diablo just to hear the Diablo rev back!

[novass]

Good to hear the problem is sorted out!!! Take the Diablo out to feed on the ricers, I bet its starving!
