yeah i have a haynes manual, just dont wanna get in the situation where i get the old brakes off but cant get the new ones on cos the caliper wont open. It should be ok though, got a clamp somewhere and im sure it shouldnt take too long. Just gotta wait for the pads to arrive? Anyone know if...

damn is it really that tough?? mite take it to the garage afta all.

ok should be fitting them tomo, got them for the Bendix caliper. Just wondering, whats the best way to open up the caliper to get the new pads in? Is it a case of levering it open or is there a specific method? Thnkas

Just a quick question, i need to tell KTR what calipers i have, how can i tell which ones are which? "Could you also let us know if you have bendix, girling or lucas calipers. " Thanks

yeah i was looking at that, but i have seen that Halfords sell solid and grooved discs, i was thinking of going for the grooved ones? If not i should still see a noticable improvement with new solid discs and kevlar pads over my worn original pads etc.

Just ordered some KTR Kevlar pads, so all thats left now is the discs? What are the best ones to go for, dont wanna spend to much as the pads were only £35. Also, has anyone ordered from KTR online before, just wondering how long they normally take and what method of P&P they use? Thanks

thanks matt, that helps explain it a bit :) Daz, i had a look today and it dont look as if it will be too hard - heres how i think i will do it (bear in mind ive never done it before) Take the top off the brake fluid pot first, jack up and put on axle stands. Take of wheel. Remove the clip...

Really gotta get some new brakes for the front of my RT as theyre running pretty low now. Decided not to bother with the 16v upgrade as i can be hassled with getting all the calipers and stuff. Anyways ive narrowed it down to: Pads - Either K-tec kevlar, or EBC green stuff? which are best...

TB?? Where abouts are these located (the TB and coolant temp sender?)? Thanks

Hi all Can anyone tell me what an ISCv is? i heard its something to do with the autochoke and that if the car is a bit jerky when cold this is likely to need cleaning or replacing? Thanks Dazz

i hope they are, mines done 72K so dont wanna be replacing it yet :) want at least another 30K before i change it.

like all the others say, an IK kit will be fine as long as its got a cold air feed. Without one youll prolly lose power. You could always got for a replacement element, better still get a replacement element and run some ducting from under the car or front grill. Basically you get an IK...

ok gonna get some plugs tomo, that will be that sorted. As for the rotor arm, Chris_H what do you mean il have to brake it off? will it be attached or just stuck in place? Also, is the rotor arm a/v from Halfords? Unlike the dizzy cap which they sell as it is the wrong one? Thanks all Dazz

Hey all Recently replace the HT leads and dizzy cap on my clio and things seem to run a little smoother. I didnt bother with the spark plugs or rotor arm as they all look in pretty good condition. I was wondering if these could be sapping any of the engine power as the plugs are a couple of...

yeah i heard they are, spiining rims or summat, thing is my nearest renault dealer is about 30 mile away :(

BTW, do i have to get specific dimension nuts, or are most fairly similar? my clios got studs instead of bolts that screw onto a thread. Thanks

Hi all Just finished refurbing my alloys (DIY - only took about 3 days), so am now after some locking nuts as they look a bit more nickable. Can anyone recommend the best/cheapest place to get them online or in the highstreet as i need them asap. Many thanks Dazz

Hi all Can anyone tell me where to find or how to get to the dog bone mount on an RT phase I. Had a look in Haynes but cant find feck all. Only ask cos i get a lot of geer stick movement when accelerating and backing off, and idle is a bit lumpy sometimes. Thanks Dazz

Hey all Anyone topped up with optimax lately? Filled up yesterday and got a car with a car tyre on, all i have to do now is find the car itself and u win. What have you all got so far? Ive got the BMW Z4 wheel

Anyone ever tried the Halfords alloy repair kit? theyre selling it for £25? I was thinking about it as i got a fair bit of spare time so would it allow me to get a high quality finish or should i just get a refurb? Thanks Dazz
