I bought ds2500 and they wouldn't stop squeeling so I swapped them for redstuffs.
tbh, I think the redstuffs brake just as well, if not better than the ferodo's. Not sure how they will go on the track though, but I'm not that heavy on the brakes so they will probably be more than capable for...
I sold my gti6 for my Trophy about 4 months ago. I don't regret it but the T is not worth the extra money as the 6 offered so much performance for little money.
The 6 can really bite if you ease off mid corner, but they do andle well. The trophy inspires so much more confidence, but maybe...
So I suppose it's a case of trial and error. TDC/sensor or coolant sensor, but which one first? Should I try cleaning the TDC sensor and if that desn't work, buy an new coolant sensor?
What do you mean buy loom as well? Do you mean the plug that is attached?
Cheers
Hi,
My girlfriends 1.4 16v Phase 2 Mk1 clio is having problems starting once it's warmed up. For example, if she goes to fill up and goes to stat her car again after 2-3 mins, it will turn over but not start.
She then has to wait a minute or so and it eventually starts. It doesn't happen...
Callipers are sliding fine and how can you go wrong with the fitting? Callipers were wire brushed to clean up, so maybe the calliper molding was slightly off.
Bottom line is they squeal no matter what I do, so I need to change. Will redstuff or yellows squeal, keeping in mind I have crappy...
Hi All,
I'ved just fitted some DS2500 and Brembo disks, plus 5.1 fluid and braided hoses.
The brakes are binding quite a bit of the time, and when they're not they still squeel badly when braking. The shims have been removed and plenty of copper grease has been applied. The ends of the...
Do you mean the piston? How can I tell and resolve that? It's only done 23000 miles so I would have thought they would be ok.
Thanks for the advice so far
Fred, you mention filing down the ends of the backing plate and removing the shims, however, I have done this and yet they still bind.
The squeeling and constantly worrying about the heat from the disks is getting on my nerves!! There is about 1mm to 1.5mm of vertical movement in the calliper...
Hi All,
I've recently uprated my brakes to Brembo HC disk, DS 2500 pads, braided lines and DOT 5.1 fluid. The brakes were treated gently for the first 250 miles, however, on returning back from a long drive I noticed they started squeeling when coming to a stop.
As I was still a long way...
I've just picked up my Trophy after just over a year in a 306 gti6. I paid 6500 with fsh, 20,000 miles and 2 months of Renault warranty left! The last guy paid 10k for it in April!!
I haven't had much chance to open it up due to the current weather, but it is bonkers fast. It's impossible to...
Trophy prices are pretty good at the minute if you are in no rush and are willing to travel. I am picking up my trophy next week after coming from a 306 gti6. It is mint with only 20,000 miles on the clock with fsh. It even has 2 months renault warrenty left as the guy only bought it in April...
