Great spot! I work for McLaren and got very excited today when I saw it at MTC. There's a P1 GTR on site with the same colour scheme so suspect they're doing a photo shoot. Very rare, ludicrously expensive.

Thank you for the advice, very simple once I knew how.

Hi all, I'm replacing my indicator mounts following a collision with Bambi. In order to pull the wires through the metal arm I need to detach the wire pins from the plastic connectors. Can these just be pulled out or is there a proper technique? Thanks

Thank you all, you've been really helpful. Lots of reading to do and things to check now. I will definitely order the cable. Thanks again!

I'm in Epsom, Surrey, so sadly not local, thank you for the offer though. Sounds like the cable could be rather handy purchase for future diagnostics. Is is difficult to get set up? If the ECU doesn't use the lambda sensor until it's up to temperature, this could explain why the problems didn't start until 20 mins into the journey and only got worse from there.

Thanks, spark plugs are worth a check. The battery was low before these problems therefore its failure to restart I don't believe is connected to the running problems. The battery would have needed changing regardless. I don't have easimap or the diagnostics cable.

Battery is brand new. I will check and clean connections. My only hesitation with TPS is that it seems ok when out of gear. The problem occurs at low-mid rpm in any gear.

Apologies for those on Facebook who may have already read this, but thought I'd post here for some further input. I had major problems with the car Saturday; picked her up from S&C after a nose job, and after 20 mins she started violently bunny hopping on the motorway. Pulled in and couldn't restart her. The battery was playing up before and since it had been unused for 6 weeks thought this was the cause. Replaced the battery and on I went. Same problem and just got worse, only difference I now had the battery to restart it. It was like the throttle didn't work until it got to high revs and then it was fine. At anything under 5000rpm it just choked and spluttered. Oddly I could maintain a constant rpm when out of gear, although the rpm kept dropping on idle and it cut out a few times. Fuel was very low when I picked it up, however I filled her up and the problems persisted. If I turned the engine off and waited a few minutes, it would be fine for a minute or two before the problem returned. I didn’t have any problems (battery aside) before she sat idle for 6 weeks, and I expect she was outside a lot, but that’s no different to home. Really appreciate any advice as to what may be causing this. Cheers, James.

I'm still in the honeymoon period with my 150 but I haven't noticed any problems in low gears at part throttle. If it's something that tends to move out of balance I'd be interested in what the symptoms were in case I experience it. Was the effect quite noticeable? What’s involved in re-balancing the throttle bodies and adjusting the throttle position sensor?

I currently have a set of CR500s (175/55R13 front and 205/55R13 rear), however the rears are quite worn and the front left has developed a slow puncture. I'm hence looking for suitable replacements. I use the car (Superlight 150) solely for the road; however hope to do a track day or two later in the year. Do people recommend another set or CR500s or are there other options I should consider? I should add that I drive my seven in all conditions so wet weather performance is also important. Many thanks

I meant in a way that the driver could select the map via a switch on the dash. Such as the Ferrari race mode settings. Would that mean that a Ferrari 458 in race mode is still EU5 compliant? It would be win-win if Caterham could have a 'road' and 'track' setting whereby only road was required to be EU5 compliant.

Could Caterham use two maps, one to be EU5 compliant and another 'track' mode which replicates the exact peddle position with no interference? Is a drive-by-wire capable of being as responsive as a mechanical throttle?
