Help Needed with Diablo SE30

No way I would spend that much for a battery. There are many good aftermarket, high-power batteries (interstate, deka, etc) for much less. Absolutely no reason to get a battery from Lambo.

 

19 year old battery in a SE30.....Hmm, SE30 option first became avalible in 94/95 I belive...

Anyway, remove the rear wheel, and arch, measure the battery width, hight and depth. Read the CCA number on the old battery, note how the +/- poles are turned ( + left or + right).

Go to your local autoparts store and they will find a selection of batterys that will fit. Excide, optima, varta etc etc.

If you pay 900$ for a battery....Well thats just stupid IMO.

 

Doubble post. Admin, please delete.

 

Which one of the very few 94 SE30 Jotas is it? Color?

 

my friend put an Optima on his SE 30
i think under 200 euro

fit and worcks great

 

I couldnt care less about who owns it. Was just curious about the color. Im sure if we put the time in we could find WHICH jota currently resides in Monaco. Whatever, all good.

 

Yep, I am curious as well. Would love to see some pics of the car we are talking about here

 

Just so we are clear....

You come to this site to ask a question of the members, a question which, by the way anyone with the most basic of mechanical background and a owner's manual could figure out by themselves.

When the members are kind enough to respond to your query, and ask a simple question in return, you act like you are trying to guard a state secret.

Perhaps next time you should just buy the part from the dealer and have them install it.

Do you really think the owner cares if you tell people that you washed his (black,purple,red, etc) Diablo?

A few of my clients are worth in the hundreds of millions and couldn't give a shi t.

 

Sorry but I have to side with Monaco on this one. He is protecting his client base. There is nothing wrong with that and nothing more professional IMO.


This forum isn't a "quid pro quo" format. He has every right to keep his client's cars confidential.


Let me give you an example of what can and did happen.

A few years ago I saw a picture of a Maserati Bora. From just the picture I pinpointed the location, found the car, got the VIN, found the previous broker, and called him. After a lengthy conversation, and a promised finder's fee, I managed to get the buyer's office number and e-mail. Evideltly this guy buys older cars like candy.
Anyway
I called the owner, who was EXTERMELY surprised (shocked) how, A.) I got his information. B.) I wanted to buy his Bora. And C.) that the car he just bought was sitting in an open parking lot in the Texas heat instead of the storage facility.
Needless to say he was upset on many levels. I didn't buy the car because he didn't want to sell it and it was gone a couple of days later.

 

Good for you...I agree with you as well...you owe only to your client and not to all the others wanting information...stick to your guns..you are correct here.

So the real issue is the owner asked you not to.


For the record I agree with you but all seriousness no one asked for the vin/location etc., just the colour...give me a break! You wouldn't be breaking any confidentiality agreements as you're not giving away any of the owners information.

 

Unless the car is for sale, what difference does it make what color it is??? I've never understood this obsession some people have with other people's possessions, and the collecting of VIN numbers is even more bizarre.
