brakes

Need new discs and pads all round. Where shall I go to get the best price? I am located in St.Albans, herts. Cheers in advance! Tom

Hi guys... just got back from holiday today after being away for a week... drove my car today and was greeted by a creaking noise whenever I applied the brakes? can anyone help or give me advice? are they just doing it because the cars been unused? or is there something else wrong...

After nearly selling the car..we decided to keep it! Now want new pads, dics all round and new shocks and springs too...People suggestions would be good asap as being done on Weds...cheers:rasp:

Hi Whilst my car was up on a lift on Tuesday evening, the first time since I've had the 197, I decided to check all round the underneath to make sure everything is at is should be and there is no damage or anything hanging off. I looked on the inner side of my front brake discs and found...

I want to refurb my alloys on my ph2 172 so gonna buy some cheap steels to run about on. Would 14" steelies fit over the brakes? Thanks Dan

Guys i have another thread open about the size of the master Cylinder BUT... I need some advice.. I have a Clio 182 with AP Racing 4 POTS and from what i can tell it has KTR braided lines aswell.. BUT i seem to have alot of pedal travel.. has anyone else had this.. I have Bleed the brakes...

Just bought a phase 1 and need to upgrade front brakes and not sure what type of suspension would be best for me. The car will be used for sprinting and a couple of trackdays. I had ds2500's on my last clio and were very squeeky. And best place to buy from??

as above, did a track day on Saturday at Mallory, brakes very really spongy now with a lot of pedal travel. I'm brakes are OE. Any ideas?

Just had my car MOT'd, failed on the front brakes as apparently the backs of them have rusted - although they're not worn down much! Garage quoted me £80 for the labour and about £80/90 for the brake pads on top. Firstly this is a job I can do myself, and I think paying £80 for it seems a...

My brakes have felt somewhat 'spongy' for a while now so I assumed it needed new pads or fluid. Car went in for service about 3 weeks ago and both discs and pads were fine so obviously the fluid (or at least I thought). Just had the fluid changed today and it hasn't made hardly any...

This might sound really stupid but im fairly new with this stuff... Would i be able to fit clio 2.0l brakes onto my mk2ph1 Clio 1.6 RXE? This also goes for like induction kits etc... would it all be possible?

just wondering if the goodrich braided lines are any good for clio 182? also which disc and pads would you recommend just for everyday drive (obviously hard driving at times!!) and if anyone could post a pic of silver or black calipers on a black 182 would be great thanks

When braking i occasionally hear a slight 'twang' noise as if the cable is catching and/or vibrating. I can also feel it vibrate and grind a little through the brake peddle. I assumed my brakepads were shot so i replaced both the front and back but this didnt resolved the problem. Im no mechanic...

Hi Chaps, I have a brand new RS200 Clio Cup with approx 630 miles done but when braking I am getting what is all I can desscribe is like a squealing/whisling annoying noise from the brakes, I have heard some people say that it is just dust from the brake pads but it is beginning to annoy me...

I am in the market for a 182 for road use and possibly some track work. My question is are the standard brakes any good or are they a known weak point of the car? I have been reading through this section and most owners seem happy with a disc and pad upgrade- is this ok on track too? Do many...

Hi, I guess a lot of you guys will have upgraded the brakes on your cars. The 182 has been into Renault and the brakes are knackered. Quoted £500 for new discs and pads. So I'm thinking that a decent set of upgraded brakes could be bought for a similar amount. Any recommendations? Any advice...

I'm having a problem with my brakes again They seem to have no bite like they used to, I have to push the pedal right to the floor to get them to work properly, then it just sort of rolls to a stop I did a test at night when stationary and I can push the pedal down nearly the full way before...

Ive noticed the brakes seem very weak when stopping suddenly, i actually thought they'd failed when i used them in the rain last week.. all discs seem to have lots of material on them..

Hi, sunday I went about changing my brake hoses, broke a nipple and got a second had caliper off a guy from here. Fitted it, bled the brakes with 'Gunson Eezibleed' always kept fluid topped up. Anyways, I can get a pedal easily when the vehicle is off, but as soon as I start the car, pedal...

Is this true on my ph2 172? I know on some cars you have to have the engine running to get the ABS pump running? As like i say, i bought some brakes hoses so the fluid will be draining out, and I bought some Super Blue to replace the whole lot, hopefully they will feel alot better, just in time...

Well, this afternoon was a little bored so decided to try and change the brakes on the 182. I have never done brakes before, literally nothing... so was a little aprehensive. I have all the tools so felt pretty confident, and would say I was pretty handy in general, so after reading the forum...

Hey guys My car has just been in for a service and been told I need new discs and pads,so was just wondering wher to get some decent ones tgat ain't to pricey Thanks

Informed that there is the possibility of an offer on the go at renault at present for the rear pads and discs for £100 or so, some sort of 'offerta especial'. Anyone know if this is legit or what stealership it was at as I am after a set of rear discs and pads for the R27

ok, ive got some brand new rear brakes disks for my 172cup, but im unsure of what people mean when they talk about 'bearings' in this context? Do you need new bearings in order to fit the new disks? All this stems from this page: http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2126&appid=2...

Hi all. When the bearings go in the rear discs how niosey does it get? Sort of a constant humming that changes with speed?? Thanks.

:rasp:

As Title really what size pot of hammerite paint did you use to paint your brakes? Going to be buying it tomorrow and i dont want to buy too big a pot only to throw away a load of it, so what size ml pot did you use?

Hi guys Is the normal clio bodyshell the same as the 172 shell and also how easy is a rear disk conversion to do on a car with drums? Rob

Hi guys, on my way to work then was doing about 70 and had to brake quite hard. Car bounced to the left quite badly. Now whenever I brake even at slow speeds it does it. Any ideas? Sorry for not searching, at work and trying to hide from the boss lol Cheers Guys

Just wondering do the brakes on the clio cup have the wheel bearings incorporated within them. clio cup 172 2003 model. Cheers.
