When @Mat Armstrong’s twin-turbo Lamborghini broke down in Spain everyone wanted to know what had caused it. Was it the tracker unit? Could it be fuel related? The comments had a huge number of suggestions, but there was only one way to find out.
As soon as the car was back on UK soil, we got it back to the shop to investigate, and, after an hour with a laptop, we found the problem…
Pleased to say that Mat now has the Gallardo back and is looking forward to using it – hard!

Nicely done Ricky and you well explained your thought processes and how you went about identifying and sorting out the problem
Amazing work. I am seriously considering getting my Gallardo TTurbod with you guys.
I liked the detailed analytical process you stepped through and demonstrate your method to solve the issue. thanks for showing us the tool set and logic used.
Scope on the crank sensor would have been a handy test
What??? This is clever stuff way beyond my capabilities. Amazing
Awesome talk thru, I was one that said Tracker at first, just because of when the issue started if honest.
This explanation is why vehicle techs deserve a hell of a lot more respect for what they do and know.
Please do more like this
I’ve got a Vauxhall Combo Van and does a Crankshaft Sensor every few years what a pain just for a small part
More of these please Rick!!
Super interesting!
Another world !! Lol
Is this similar to a phonic wheel ?
Would it be impossible for an ECU to use a crank position sensor (s) to run the engine in a limp home mode. ie it recognises the loss of crank sensor and then when cranking shuffles through the sync options until it see's the engine start. A bit like back in the day if the distributor was loose someone could crank the engine whilst someone else turned the distributor until it fired.
