I had the same problem with my bilsteins, took the strut to my local specialist, it was a m9 thread had a fine pitch. Not a common size at all, wasnt even listed in his book.
So this happened this morning as I was driving to work, driven roughly 3 miles, light braking on the main road coming into a bend and *Bang*
Discovered the caliper had literally split in half. No obvious signs of why this happened, cant see any cracks.
Changed the pads not long ago but cant...
Just fitted one, fingers crossed it holds and does its job.
What is the car being used for? If its mainly road driving the circlip should be ok, rallying etc the clip is more likely to come off
Yes, this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gearbox-renfort-Renault-Clio-RS-172-182-JC5-Trophy-etc-/140732801641?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item20c4542269
Got one of these ordered, just wondering if anyone has any advice or tips on fitting it. (Box is not coming out as its only just gone back in)
Thanks in advance
Tap out the piece of metal at the bottom that holds the pads in. They should then just pull out. Then wind the piston back, news pads in and secure with the piece of metal.
A few more, recently fitted the bilstein b14 suspension, ebc yellow rear pads (which work very well with the hydraulic handbrake)
Bled the brakes yet again with some 5.1
Yanoo stiff shift 3.0, new box, clutch and lightened flywheel.
Modified the sump guard slightly which I am happier with...
