Cheers guys! Thought I had to get the calliper off to do the pads to be honest. I'll give it a go, I must have a 12mm knocking about then as I've done several oil/filter changes.
Because that's what I've always done on my cars, was going to give the calliper a good clean up and have a good look at the discs. Could i have got away without removing the calliper then?
So today I finally got myself motivated to change the pads on the car....
So all up in the air wheels off....right, lets get the calliper off. It's promptly ended there as my sized 10 hex is no where near the right size to get mr Brembo off!
So what size is it people as ill get one ready for...
Custom all the way! I've got a custom cat back on mine and I'm yet to hear any other 197/200 like it!
I'm going to try and attempt to get some in car video for noise purpose today....I'll post it up later ;)

Indeed that is mike, he's a great lad and I hope he has more success this season! I do believe he will be running with Westbourne this coming season! I have seen pics of the rebuilt car and it looks pretty mint!
If i were you, I'd test drive a cup and a FF....Ive got a FF 197 and love everything about it! But do check the gearbox as early 197's are prone to the syncro's going on them, due to renault making them from French cheese!
Alot of 197 have had the box replaced or beefed up syncro's, so check...
In my opinion Insureance is overly priced and we never know the deal until something happens!
I had massive issues with my previous insurer when it came to accepting my NCB bonus after initially accepting it...3 months later decided they didn't want to because I had been on business...
Bhp is not everything! Don't be fooled into thinking that it is...the key to maximise any power is the delivery of it, because anyone can do a burnout off the lights ;)
