sh*t! didnt realise they could do that - they are really bad, so i think im gonna keep it off the road till friday (the bloke keeps putting me off getting it sorted :confused:) if they go into the back of the discs i presume that means you can swap discs and the bearing will stay where it is...

oh one more thing...do the bearings go into the discs - if so i might wait tilll ive got my new ktec discs before i do them!

i am gonna uprate my brakes with the k-tec fast road discs (balanced, vented and cross-drilled) and kevlar pads. But i know there are problems replacing the standard discs with valver discs in that you need a new caliper - will i need a new one for the k-tec one?

well yeah it has got progressively worse, and the bodyshop who is replacing the lower arm+bush (i took it there coz i put the wheel into a kerb in the snow and put everything out of alignment :() reckons the rumbling sound that makes the clio sound like a jumbo crossed with a 5" big bore exhaust...

i need to do mine, but they look a lot harder than when i did them on my micra. ARe they a tricky job to do? need to know asap becuase my car is going into have a lower arm replaced today - while they are doing it i am thinking they may aswell do the bearing. what do you people think?

rob are v+g color coding and doing the grill for you then? i was thinking of askign them to remove the plastic side trim and smooth it out when they do the work on my damaged side, but not sure if i can afford it!

lol - had that on my first car - mk 2 fez - broke the bloody ceramic surrounds before i could get them off coz they were so seized. ...chich reminds me - you might wanna grease the threads befor you put them in - copper ease, vaseline?

im on about £1200 in my 3rd year driving (2yr NCB) with 2 incidents and 3 SP friggin 30 points, thats with frizzell / liverpool victoria (im 19). some guy in the yellow pages (18-21 specialists) could do it cheaper, but he seemed TOO keen if you know what i mean for my business, i.e. wanting me...

no, just a deep socket will do! make sure you dont x-tread them when you put them back in, and tighten them firmly (to the right torque if you can) or they might decide to kamikaze out when youre driving!

i think he was probably lookign for the looks improvement more so than the stopping potential - thats why i was thinking of doing it, because drums look pig ugly!

myself i reckon it wouldnt look complete if only the front wings were done...but then youre making a pale impersonation of a valver if you do it all round! why not make it original with what youve got?

i have been thinking of doin this aswell, but after looking at the different components in the valver disc system, im not sure i can be bothered with it at the moment - you will def need the load sensor, and im not sure if the standard cylinder would be up to the job? if you get figures then i...

i get that aswell on my RT, dont think there is much you can do about it, its just the aerodynamics when the car gets up to fast speeds! Having said tat hough, if anyone does know of any fixes, id be grateful aswell!

hey i reckon i had a lucky outcome though - if id hit it then id have got a dent in my bumper, but as it goes everything it cool with it! but i aint swerving next time... ;)

on my way to work early this mornin (and i mean early, 5:30!) i was cruisin on the A2 at about 70mph on the inside lane when i saw a damn fox standing on the middle lane. As i approached he looked at me and tried to dart accross my path. Instinctively i swerved right to miss it, but going at...
