brakes

Hi Guys, Yet another brake question thread, but times move on and there may be new things since the other threads so thats my justification:tearsofjoy: I've been looking at changing out all my brakes on the 172. I've found some things and just wanted to run them past you guys to hear your...

So I've just stripped cleaned and refitted all callipers on my 182, replaced brake pipes, pads at the same time. All was going well untill the re-bleed process began. Now I have a puddle of fluid forming under the master cylinder area of the car. I have a feeling I was over pumping the brake...

hi everyone. I just bought a clio 53 plate 1.2 extreme billabong whatever it is for scrap price as it needs an mot soon and it's got a problem with the brakes. when the car is off and I pump the pedal it gains a little pressure but not loads. when started it has nothing, slams to the floor but...

Hi all, First post so go easy!! Wishing to get into DIY, I replaced my pads and discs just under a month ago. The pedal feels fine and the brakes stop the car quickly enough, however there is a ring of corrosion on the inside edge of the disc (near the hub), which is where the pads aren't...

So i'm getting a grinding from both sides on full steering lock, it's the kind of grinding you get when your brake pads have worn down, they were an advisory on the last mot so i'm guessing that's what it is. The main thing I want to know is should the discs move like that when cornering, as...

Any suggestions before I throw the cup brakes lines in the bin on my ph1 and make my own lines with bias valve Rear brakes keep locking up, when it's on stands and someone has there foot on the brake I can spin the rear wheels with not much effort at all (i.e. low braking effort) which is good...

Hi folks, Ive just changed the handbrake cables and pads on my rear brakes, after this I bled the brakes and them pushed the pedal the ensure brakes were working as they should. They dont seem to be grabbing the disc like they should and working properly? When I pull the handbrake on they work...

Hi all, Looking to change rear pads on my 182, ahave ordered some mintex pads, have heard the sliders etc can be problematic for sticking etc, any advice on whether I should be looking to grease it all up or replace sliders etc while im doing the pads? Do the pistons generally wind back in ok...

i am wanting to change the discs and pads on the rear of my '04 172 i have the discs and pads on order but will i need any kind of pins or clips ? if so what will i need please ?

as the title of the thread suggests, i want to know what is recommended when chaging the rear discs? I will be using genuine Renault discs and pads, but i see some people also suggest changing the following; Hub nuts Spacer/washer Retaining screw Are the above necesarry? Is there anything...

I decided it was the perfect time yesterday to get my brakes, dampers and to sort out the water coming into my footwells.... I have now got all the below fitted. These include Mintex discs front and back, Mintex rear pads, Bosch front pads, Monroe rear dampers and what was intended to be...

As the title really. I remember seeing a project thread last year and they had changed their rear brakes to items off an 197. Is there much of a benefit to this with it having larger disks? Cheers

Hi. Recently changed drivers handbrake cable as had snapped during mot. Now i have no response from rear brakes. Anyone any idea as to why. All i did was loosen cable, unclipped and replaced with new cable then tightened back up. Thanks in advance

I've just fitted new rear calipers to my clio cup. Span the wheel, applied the brake and nothing. Tryed to bleed it no fluid. Fronts work fine. Any ideas?

Need to get new brakes at the front as the pads are squeaking and the discs are lipping. Are these set of Brembos any good for the price?

I had an advisory for my front discs on the last mot, I was gonna to replace them with brembo hc discs, i dunno if its worth upgrading the pads or not? Everyone on here seems to go for the ds25000? They seem pretty expensive, i dont really use the car that often (it's got silly low mileage, I...

Took my 172 to the garage this morning as it was knocking when I applied the brakes. Turns out the sliders on the carriers are seized on the front and won't release; in fact one has now snapped of. Basically I need new carriers, discs and pads for the front but can't find any carriers...

Got new discs and pads Brembo groved high carbon with ds2500 Standerd rear disc with Brembo pads George is away so after some bedding in advice

Yesterday, whilst driving along the brake pedal suddenly became very stiff and I lost most stopping power, which was quite scary. Anyway after a little search, it sounds like this guide will fix my issue. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/brake-vacuum-issues.545615/#post-7251178 However, the...

Right I need a new set of front discs and pads and i need to know the right set to get as I've seen so many variants. The cars a 51 plate 1.2 16v. I've got vented discs at the moment. Can anyone recommend please

I have got a bit of a knocking noise coming from the rear left corner. I know I have a rattling exhasut but this is a little different, or could it be an exhaust still? Started the other weelk when I changed the rear discs and pads. I have put the anti-rattling retaining springs to the pads...

I just upgraded the mbc and redid all the fluid on the sunflower due to the 4 pot Brembo's i have on it. At first it seemed to be working well but i noticed the smell of the discs getting realy hot and the car struggling to even move. In the end it stopped and was stuck...not moving at all. The...

Hi Guys I've got the wilwood brake setup on my Clio with the mintex pads in, they feel great with plenty of bite but they make so much noise when braking! They squeak like mad! And it's driving me mental, I've tried all sorts to fix the problem but nothing seems to get rid of the noise.. Now...

I have searched the Internet but not managed to get a definite answer! I have been offered a pair of Megane 225 brembos callipers, 182 mounting brackets, braided lines, and 300mm discs for £400! Mintex 1144 pads also, the whole set has covered 3k miles. I'm on the verge of buying them, I just...

Hi everyone have my mot next week unsure if my brakes will be satisfactory. Wondering if someone can tell me best way of checking. I have done two track days and a year of driving on new brembo max discs and ferodo pads. Thanks in advance terry

Hi All, Had my MOT yesterday on my Clio 172 CUP, which thankfully passed. Had a few advisories though; - Front and Rear coils are corroding and need replacing - Front and rear brake discs need replacing I was quoted around £1158 for the parts and fitting from the garage. I was wondering if...

Hi , when doing a brake pad change lately , I noticed both the rear brakes were slightly stuck (handbrake off). Tires were hard to spin by hand, and stopped after 1 turn or so. Without the tires, the disc brakes were hard to spin and stopped immediately when I left them. After changing the...

Hi Guys I had boiled the fluid on the trackday a month back and bled the fluid at the weekend. However I only bled the dirty fluid and didn't flush it all through as I have done previously. Do I need to flush more than the dirty fluid after or will this be enough? Thanks

Basically, not really clued up in any of this at-all (but you don't learn unless you try), how hard a job is it to change discs/pads/rear hub nuts all round on a Clio 197? What tools will be needed? Cheers
