Lovely job Kevin.

Very sad, he was a comic genius. loved all his stuff. . RIP Rick,

Lovely pics mate, thanks for sharing.

Dont think Vettel knew anything about it until a car went past his nose at over a ton. That's what I thought at first but then I watched his on board footage, he makes a correction going the other way into a corner. No need to do that if he wasn't trying to avoid anything! Looked like he corrected a bit of oversteer under braking. May be wrong..!!

In endurance racing, insurance is a hard pill to swallow Never has an edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans had so many ups and downs with another withdrawal only a week away from the start of the race. For many teams, budgets are getting tighter and tighter, and we could still see more teams calling it quits by the end of the year in various championships. Sponsorship is difficult to find without including possible mechanical breakdowns or incidents. It’s obvious that racing cars cost a lot of money, but just how much? We won’t even go into the costs associated with an LM P1-H (Audi, Porsche, Toyota), but as a general idea, an LM P2 costs around 370,000 Euros, a little more than a GT3. In GTE, a Ferrari F458 Italia sells for 500,000 Euros and nearly 1 million Euros for a Porsche 911 RSR. To this you still have to add various ancillary costs. As a comparison, the winner of the Roland Garros mens tennis tournament final will take home 1.65 million Euros. First round losers are awarded 24,000 Euros each. And those are tennis sums, which are far and away much higher than the prize money given in endurance racing. After writing about the costs associated with running an LM P2 over a season-long campaign, we turned our attention to insurance, more specifically what it takes to insure cars and teams. It’s a cruel dilemma for many drivers and teams. “In case the car is damaged, there is an exemption to pay,†explains a full-time driver entered in LM P2 for this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans. “We always race with that on our minds because one off track excursion can lead to big problems. We can’t deny that we are led to drive a little under the maximum because of the consequences. It’s up to us to find solutions. The exemption we must pay is 25,000 Euros up to 140,000 Euros in damage. But when you take into account that the smallest carbon fibre piece costs 25,000 Euros… If the damage costs more than 140,000 Euros, you add another 25,000 Euros, and so on and so forth. Before, we could buy back the exemptions, which is no longer possible. In short, we are forced to find backing to pay for damage. To compare, the exemption in GT3 is 20,000 Euros. “It’s becoming so expensive that it’s complicated to find an insurer,†the LM P2 driver continues. “There are even teams that don’t insure the cars. Motor sport is like a drug. Once the adrenalin gets pumping it’s hard to ignore.†In racing, insurance prices are high. The cost of a season in European Le Mans Series and at Le Mans is around 850,000 Euros, while the Blancpain Endurance Series and 24 Hours of Spa cost 550,000 Euros. “Insurance companies that cover competition vehicles are getting more and more rare,†explains a team principle. “There are only two or three that are reliable. You have to give the price of the car when new, as well as the amount to be covered. The total depends on the amount to be reimbursed. You can also get an insurance that will cover the car in its entirety. The exemption remains the driver’s responsibility. Depending on what type of damage, the cost raises.†To make a claim with the insurance company, you must first have a document from the race director that certifies the accident. Same thing for the driver, who must also confirm that he/she was driving at the time. Then you have to show photos of the damaged car, as well as the work being done to make repairs. Then the team must make an inventory of all the parts used with an option to include labour costs. An expert analyses everything before an money is paid out. “In three years, dues have gone from 60,000 to 100,000 Euros for an LM P2,†explains the team owner. “And the exemption is higher for the 24 Hours of Le Mans because it jumps to 35,000 Euros.â€

Thanks Kyle yes' that's exactly the bit, the butterfly in the throttle body.

Montreal Rumour: Ferrari to Axe Raikkonen? Ferrari sources have reacted swiftly to extinguish the latest big rumour as the 'silly season' steps up a gear in Montreal. Swirling around the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve paddock on Saturday were whispers that, having failed to match Fernando Alonso's pace in the first third of 2014, Kimi Raikkonen could be set to be axed by Ferrari. However, that move would be an echo of Raikkonen's last Maranello exit, when the fabled Italian team had to pay the Finn millions to end his solid 2010 contract. Likewise in 2014, Raikkonen is firmly under contract not only for this year, but also 2015, when he is expected to be paid some $30 million whether he races or not. "Ferrari will not fire Kimi a second time," a Ferrari source told the German magazine Sport Bild. Recalling the amount of money it cost Ferrari to oust Raikkonen in 2009, the source added: "Ferrari doesn't want to do that again." A driver manager also told Sport Bild: "It would cost Ferrari up to $30 million because he has a contract until 2015 with an option for another year."

It could be a number of things but most likely the MAF, I would start there. I also used used rubbing alcohol and cotton wool on a MAF on my old Mec but that was very dirty.

I just use my BRDC pass...

I cleaned mine with Maf Cleaner from Halfrauds I tried not to move any of the setting and I marked the position before I removed it but that was on a DE. . Good Luck.

Welcome to The Land of Zed. . MAF may need a clean.

Ricciardo claims maiden win in Montreal thriller Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo claimed his first Grand Prix victory in a drama-filled race in Canada on Sunday, overtaking Nico Rosberg's ailing Mercedes just three laps from the finish to end the Silver Arrows’ six-race winning streak. For the first half the race took on a familiar pattern as Rosberg and team mate Lewis Hamilton raced away at the front of the field. Then, all of a sudden as the duo were locked in battle, both men reported a loss of power, allowing the cars behind - led by the Williams of Felipe Massa - to close in swiftly. When the sick silver cars pitted for fresh rubber a lap apart, Massa sensationally took the lead, but the real action was taking place behind him as Hamilton ran deep at the hairpin and lost the advantage he had gained on Rosberg in the pits. Shortly afterwards Massa pitted from the lead, but as Rosberg re-took P1, the cause of Hamilton's error became clear: he was suffering with braking problems and, after missing several apexes, soon pulled into the pits to retire for the second time this season. Rosberg continued to hold the lead, but the MGU-K problem that had caused his and Hamilton’s loss of power meant that he was eventually caught by a train of faster moving cars. The gaggle was led by the one-stopping Force India of Sergio Perez, followed by the two-stopping Red Bulls of Ricciardo and Sebastian Vettel. Thriteen laps from the finish these three were soon joined by the hard-charging Massa to set up a grandstand finish. Under increasing pressure and effectively running on internal combustion power alone, Rosberg bravely held on to the lead, as Perez - on the oldest tyres of the group - did a tremendous job to keep Ricciardo behind. Finally the Australian forced his way past the Mexican into second place with a bold move going into Turn 1 on the 66th lap, and then set out after Rosberg. He caught the Mercedes with the aid of DRS down the back straight on the 68th lap, breezing by on the outside going into the final corner. But the action wasn’t over yet. As they crossed the line to start the final lap, Massa lined up Perez for a pass into Turn 1 only to tag the back of the Force India, sending both cars heavily into the barriers. As both drivers climbed out of their cars uninjured, the safety car was dispatched and the stewards immediately launched an investigation into the incident. Perez was deemed at fault, having changed his racing line, and will drop five grid places at the next race as a result. Vettel, who had squeezed past Perez and into third on the 68th lap, was mighty lucky to avoid Massa’s gyrating car as it swept across his bows at the first corner, but having survived, the German was free to take third behind Rosberg and a delighted Ricciardo. Behind the front three, McLaren’s Jenson Button was the beneficiary of the last lap chaos. The Briton had started the penultimate lap in eighth place but passed Nico Hulkenberg’s Force India and Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso as the duo squabbled at the hairpin. Hulkenberg eventually came home fifth, Alonso sixth and Valtteri Bottas seventh in the second Williams. Jean-Eric Vergne claimed eighth for Toro Rosso, ahead of McLaren’s Kevin Magnussen and Kimi Raikkonen, who survived a spin on his way to the final point for Ferrari. Perez and Massa were classified 11th and 12th, as the Saubers of Adrian Sutil and Esteban Gutierrez were the final classified finishers in 13th and 14th. Besides Hamilton, neither of the Marussias finished after Max Chilton lost control at Turn 3 on the opening lap and punted team mate Jules Bianchi into the barriers. Both red and black cars suffered severe damage and the debris resulted in the safety car being deployed for the first six tours as the marshals cleared the track. Chilton was subsequently handed a three-place grid penalty for the next race for causing the incident. Neither Caterham finished, with Marcus Ericsson being told to switch off his Renault power unit and Kamui Kobayashi stopping with damage to his left rear suspension. The Japanese driver had earlier spun at Turn 2. The Lotuses of Romain Grosjean and Pastor Maldonado were also non-finishers, as was Daniil Kvyat whose Toro Rosso hit technical problems. The result means Rosberg extends his championship lead by 18 points over the unfortunate Hamilton, with 140 to 118, as Ricciardo moves to third on 79 ahead of Alonso on 69, Vettel on 60 and Hulkenberg on 57. In the constructors’ stakes, Mercedes have 258 to Red Bull’s 139, with Ferrari on 87, Force India on 77, McLaren up to 66 and Williams on 58.

Doesn't sound good , very possible a large ampage fuse. I'm sure somebody will be along soon with more car elecrtical knowledge than me, hope its an easy fix. .
