    Quick braided hose question (pic included)

    You'll always lose a bit of fluid when you disconnect the hoses . Put some cling film over the brake fluid reservoir and screw the cap back on tight . Bleed through " without " the engine running .

    182 depreciation..

    Like Sam says . Selling private is the only way you'll get anywhere near it's true market value . At the moment the market for 182's is a little bit stagnant as there seems an abundance of them for sale . Thats also another reason why a dealer will offer you well under market value as he knows...

    182 depreciation..

    It always amazes me how people are shocked when they are offered 1000's less than they paid for their cars 1 or 2 years down the line . The fact is it's a tin box that costs money to run , repair etc ... Newer models come out which " can " affect the price of older models . If your gonna part ex...

    brake calipers

    You sure you need an allen key ? On mine iirc its 2 18mm bolts for the whole caliper and you need a 13 and 17mm spanner to separate the caliper and the brake pad mounting brackets . Personally i'd paint them off the car as it's easier .

    Squeek While Turning

    ^^^ Why would your brake discs squeak only while turning ??
  12. MRBILLYUK

    Anyone tried these brake components???

    If the discs are any good then thats a good price if they are crap then you've wasted your money . Plus you'll need new bearings and abs rings for the rears . Personally i'd rather go with names you can trust that have been tried and tested .

    How much should I pay for my first service?

    I'd like to know which Renault dealers will service my car for £150 parts and labour ?? I have to be willing to travel as i don't have any dealer that is local to me , hence the need for a courtesy car .

    rear clio and diamond badge

    The Renault diamond is located with 4 lugs and , inside the diamond there are 4 tiny little lugs that stop the diamond coming loose .Like clio luke says , you'll have to take the whole mechanism off . Have a look in a haynes manual if your unsure .

    Squeek While Turning

    I had some squeaking on my 182 . Took back to Renault and they said they tightened up some bolts on the subframe . Anyway , it's gone now :)

    How much should I pay for my first service?

    I've just rung round a few Renault dealers for my 182's 12k service Cheapest was £195 - no courtesy car available which i need , £202 and £220 . Supplying my own oil only drops the price by £20 .I'd prefer to have it serviced at Renault while it's still under warrenty in case they find any...

    Paint calipers, what colour?

    Yeah black will be ok . Depends if you want to show your calipers off though through the turinis . Even though the red's lighter it'll still look good on your flame red imo .

    Personally i'd just got for red on your car . If you have too many colours going on it will look crap imo

    Rear calipers 172, how do they work?

    The adjuster screw inside the caliper turns , the piston is prevented from turning by the lugs on the brake pad therefore pushing the piston forwards .There are 5 sprung washers inside the caliper pulling the adjuster screw back when you release the handrake .

    Rear calipers 172, how do they work?

    The piston is on a threaded adjuster screw inside the caliper so pushes onto your brake pads when you apply the brakes or handbrake .If it wasn't on a screw , when you apply the handbrake it would always be pressing on you brake pads when you released the handbrake so your handbrake would always...
