How do you be little a 24hrs race?

The 24 Hours of Le Mans (French: 24 Heures du Mans) is the world's oldest active sports car race in endurance racing, held annually since 1923 near the town of Le Mans, France.[1] It is considered one of the most prestigious automobile races in the world and has been called the "Grand Prix of Endurance and Efficiency".[2][3] The event represents one leg of the Triple Crown of Motorsport, other events being the Indianapolis 500 and the Monaco Grand Prix. Unlike fixed distance races where the winner is determined by minimum time, the 24-Hours of Le Mans awards a win to the car that covers the greatest distance in 24 hours.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Le_Mans

The race is organized by the Automobile Club l'Ouest (ACO) and is held on the Circuit de la Sarthe, which contains a mix of closed public roads and dedicated sections of racing track,[b] in which racing teams must balance the demands of speed with the cars' ability to run for 24 hours without mechanical failure. Of the 60 cars which qualified for the 2018 race, 41 cars ran the full duration.
Most part of that race is done on public Roads.
The race is not about speed.

Welcome to the world grin grin
That's how almost all the women are, like someone pointed out if u want to have a happy home, u have to sacrifice alot....I mean alot.
Don't think she will change no matter what u do.
Thank God u already know how it feels to live with a woman...it's left for you now to know if you have the patience and endurance to tolerate whatever she throws at you.
Don't think it will stop on the ones you are seeing now.
Time will come when she will not even cook for you, lay you or talk to you with respect.
Time will come when the only purpose you will serve in her life will be to provide money for her well-being, her children and relatives.

24 HOURS OF LE MANS - TOYOTA WINS THE 2019 RACE
After a well-managed race and its usual share of ups and downs, Toyota has won the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the second year running.
24 Hours of Le Mans - Toyota wins the 2019 race
© Guénolé TREHOREL (ACO)
Firm favourite well before H.S.H. Charlene, Princess of Monaco waved the French flag to signal the start of the race at 15:00, Toyota lived up to expectations. But favourites don’t always make winners and a 24-hour race doesn’t run itself. Toyota knows better than any team that you can never before sure of anything at Le Mans. There was last minute drama in the Toyota Gazoo Racing camp again this year, when the #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid lost the lead to the #8 sister car after a puncture. Sébastien Buemi, Kazuki Nakajima and Fernando Alonso form the winning crew. Toyota is the first Japanese manufacturer to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans twice. A third win in 2020 would give them the right to keep the trophy!

1 - Toyota Gazoo Racing #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid - Sébastien Buemi / Kazuki Nakajima / Fernando Alonso
2 - Toyota Gazoo Racing #7 Toyota TS050 Hybrid - Mike Conway / Kamui Kobayashi / José-Maria Lopez
3 - BR Engineering BR1-AER # SMP RACING - Mikhail Aleshin / Stoffel Vandoorne / Vitaly Petrov[/quote]grin grin grin

Goodevening house. I use a 2004 C230k manual tranny. Checked with AC technicians (2-3 of them)and they all confirmed my AC compressor is spoilt. But they differ in the type of compressor that I should buy as replacement. One said I should by the automatic AC compressor the type that came with the car while the other 2 said I should buy the manual AC compressor.
Who has had experience changing the AC compressor in his or her W203 before, would you pls share your experience and advice me on how to go about changing the AC compressor
Thanks
I will advice you go with the manual compressor..it's very rugged and will serve u for a long time.

Don't do the Peugeot compressor since u don't know much about the car yet....stick to the manual Benz compressor.

I once saw a V6 Highlander that the ABS module was completely disconnected,to my surprise the vehicle still drives as if all is well. grin grin grin
You can't try that with a Benz or any proper vehicle.

This is one of the reasons Japanese cartons are not safe, someone can just wake up and make dangerous modifications and the vehicle will still drive.

Yes check engine light is on(O2 sensor ish).
I use to go up to 220kph or so normally but now before e reach 165 na war then it will now struggle to go up to 175kph then max out at 180kph and doesn't rev up again more than 5000 rpm.
It just stays there no matter how hard I depress the throttle.
And it whines a lot too. undecided
The bad O2 sensor will definitely make ur car slower.
Note also that O2 sensor code can also mean something is not right with the exhaust system.
Also, try and get another MAF that's a perfect match for ur engine....
How I do this:
Install MAF, start engine and rev slowly... observe rpm
Allow engine to idle....check for rough idle....if non noticed.
Take car for a test drive at high speeds and observe performance.
Clear fault codes and test again.
If the engine light doesn't come back and engine is idling fine than u r good to go.

Hi guys.
Happy Sunday.
So u hit the interstate today morning while travelling for work related purposes and my car really struggled to go beyond 175kph and it really struggled to get there sef.
Can you all help point out what the culprit could be out of these possibilities;
-leaky exhaust at the neck,close to the manifold where the exhaust line attaches to the engine.
-Scanned and it pointed out MAF (current and stored),even after changing it and wiping the code,it keeps coming back.
-Gear oil.Haven't checked the level or quality in a while(been so occupied lately).
Which amongst these could cause this?
Experts in the house,please help.
What's d highest speed you usually get before?
Do you hv check engine light on?

This is another lie that has been told many times it now appears as the truth.
Type of engine oil u use doesn't create sludge in your engine.
The major things that creates sludge in an engine is mainly.
1.Not changing ur oil when due.
2. Driving mostly short distances.

So by your logic, if I use a 2001 Mercedes benz that the manufacturer said I should use 5w-30 for the engine and now that the manufacturer has moved to 0W-40 or 5W-50. It means I should automatically switch to the newer oil grade that the manufacturer has now moved to abi? All what you wrote up there is just like the rest of your epistle. Trash!
1.
Do you know why manufacturers issue Recalls?
It's because what they thought was best for their vehicles at a given time Failed or it was discovered not to work grin grin grin
That is after ;
All the Tests,
Certifications,
Quality checks
Endorsements e.t.c
By men and women knows it all in their fields.
At the end..it failed,they all failed cheesy

2. Do you know why manufacturers discontinue parts, specifications, components and models?
It's because they found a better way of doing same thing.
There's a new discovery.
This shows that even the manufacturers don't know it all.
Don't believe everything you are told Son.

There are many people who view these boards. A great number are newbies. We must not allow the likes of shortgun misinform them. cheesy

The annoying thing is, when the vehicle starts developing issues, they slam for sale on it and say it's buy and drive to Maiduguri.

When you bring out yours to sell, someone will point at theirs and say you're greedy.

I seem to so much like the last part of your post.
For those who can afford to replace their engines without battling an eye lid, you can use any oil you want and leave without change for as long as you like.

For the rest of us, we will continue to follow the recommendations of the manufacturer.
Use whatever oil u want but don't say I misinform people here cos I use the same oil myself and my cars are still running strong after many years.
I don't blame u guys cos there was a time people believed that the earth was flat.
Here is what the British parliament said about Light bulbs b4 it was invented by Edison.

"A British Parliament Committee noted in 1878 that Edison's light bulb was "good enough for our Transatlantic friends... but unworthy of the attention of practical or scientific men."
So many facts today will no longer be facts tomorrow.
I am not forcing anyone to use the type of oil that am using...am only trying to help humanity without a fee.

My car recommends 5w-20, Please show me where i can buy 30w-20", since our ambient temp is 30deg C grin grin grin
You also said i should ignore the 5W..and be concern with the "20"
U see the problem with most people is they like to follow the guidelines, they like the rules they are caged by the regulations, they like the norm and will never do anything out the norm.
This is 2019 not 2001.
Car manufacturers are learning things we knew long ago.
That ur 5w20 oil is outdated, manufacturers will not recommend that oil today.

The recommended oils for a 2018 Mercedes Benz c class is 0w40 and 5w50 oils, while d recommended oil for 2002 C class is 5w30....notice how the number after the W have increased over d years.... cheesy

Some of you think the lower the number the better but the manufacturer you claim to follow have moved up to higher numbers but you still choose to remain on one spot shouting Mobil 1 5w30 everywhere up n down grin grin grin
He that doesn't know and claim he knows is a danger to himself and others.
