    Doesn't specifically say anything related to Netflix on the spec, but should one assume it would be possible to access it....

    Yeah I'd rather a shop as you say. This one has caught my eye: http://www.samsung.com/uk/tvs/full-hd-k5500/UE40K5500AKXXU/ https://www.tesco.com/direct/samsung-ue40k5500-40-inch-smart-wifi-built-in-full-hd-1080p-led-tv-with-freeview-hd/331-4045.prd?source=others

    TV - Looking for one for <£400 - Talk to me?

    Chaps, and ladies. I'm decorating my new house and need a new TV. I've NEVER ever bought a TV before so I "know nothing" (John Snow). Just that we don't need anything too fancy like a curved glass or 60 incher. We only use our current one to watch Freeview and Netflix via the xbox. Not...

    Home cctv and phone apps? recommendations please!

    Swann have night vision. So when it's pitch black you can actually look at the camera and see very well. They also somehow hold onto the light very well. I've often looked at the cameras and see they are still in daylight mode with full colour, to then wonder how the f**k because its dark...

    I've got a Swann system as well. It's great, cannot fault it at all really.

    Team dynamics 1.2 fitment

    Not true^ Do you really think a shitty little plastic ring would support any load. They can melt after one heavy track session. The spigot ring is purely there to locate the wheel onto the hub centrally. You can do without them if careful. ANYWAY I was going to say you can get metal spigot...

    My BG 182 Track Car Build

    Car looks fantastic as always mate. Being in yours still makes me want to go back to a standard engine! Would love to do Anglesey at some point too. Shame about the hose clips and that you didn't bring any spare coolant with you. Alex advised me to stick with standards and not waste my money...

    The Porsche Carrera 4s Journey (Part 1: The Hunt)

    My god these have gone up in price. My boss sold his one a few years back for £18,000! Black with tan interior. He had it from new and it had about 25k miles on the clock. Mental

    Very easy. Has a $500,000 monthly limit on his account. So one transaction, then another the next month and he's done. Obviously needs to pay CGT though.

    Just a random post to keep people encouraged. A friend of mine got a £25k LOAN, and bough Ethereum when it was $12. It's now $265. Still has it all, and more. Yes that's a LOT of money!!!!! !!!! !!! !!!!

    For anyone interested, a friend of mine has a small business in regards to these bikes. They look absolutely awesome and are completely rebuilt/refurbished. Instagram link here: https://www.instagram.com/honda_cublife/

    Long Term Track Car Project

    Heat gun, scraper, tar remover and lots of elbow grease. Tip, keep a cold wet towel on the top of the roof to stop the paint from bubbling under too much heat and keep spraying it with water to keep it cool.

    Don't remember the Meg but I think I can remember the others. Was your mate the Caterham who dropped fuel everywhere? I had a big moment at Paddock Hill because of this lol! I'll bare those cars in mind when I look at and edit my Go Pro footage though.

    Cheers mate. The evening sessions do pass very quick don't they. Feel like you don't even get a moment to wee or step back. What cars were your friends in? What time Tony?? I might try and come by to watch!

    Martin's Track Clio 182 Project Thread

    I then took the car to Brands Hatch last night and it performed faultlessly. A few things to note though: 1) I need to fit my roof scoop or a cup fan setup desperately. It felt 100 degrees inside the car on track. No sliders in the windows now means NO air gets into the car. The climate...

    The other weekend the broken clutch was swapped out for a Helix Organic kit. The old Valeo clutch cover had sheared a rivet! The car was also given a brake fluid change. It hadn't been done in a few years. Thanks to Alex and Graham for their help.

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    Not good on the breakdowns again :-( Trackday looked fun though for what it's worth!

    I've actually already got a roof scoop sitting in my bedroom haha! Was just trying to wait until I got some kind of front cage fitted so it wouldn't get in the way of any roof bars!

    Help needed on Next Stages of my track day 172 Cup

    If you're looking to spend around a grand on suspension, I'd really consider reaching that little bit further and getting the ASTs. They will be the best you can buy. My current AST setup is 460lbs front and 475lbs rear. That is pretty stiff for the road but great on track! 15 inch wheels...

    Martin's Track Clio 182 Project Thread

    That's good going to be fair. Do you have any experience or views on the Helix, specifically the organic setup mate? Haha you're telling me mate. Thankfully the car was on a trailer so the journey home was as normal. Shshhhhhhhhh I can't hear you

    That post is 3 years old by the way :cool: I spoke to Tony yesterday. He's had two Valeo clutches fail on him. One was disastrous when it let the fly wheel escape for freedom and it cut everything in half on its way out lol. He's now got a Helix paddle clutch. Thinking about it, I'm sure my...

    Martin's Track Clio 182 Project Thread

    The more I look into it the more common it seems. I've come across some catastrophic failures from fellow RS owners and now almost consider myself lucky... That's good to know thanks mate. I will take a look at the LUK ones. But I think I'm set on getting a Helix now though.

    Martin's Track Clio 182 Project Thread

    f**k that's bad. Looks like I got lucky then and caught it with just one rivet failure. How comes you went for a LUK clutch now, and not something considerably stronger!??
