Renault should be able to get the caliper seal kits , or Peugeot , the calipers on the 172 or almost exactly the same as the calipers as on a Pug 306 S16 , same seal kit , cost about £25 ish last time i bought one but that was a couple of years ago .

As far as i know you need to know what your doing altering the brake bias valve , not your typical diy job . If its braking ok i'd leave it alone . I don't know how they are set up , but i would imagine it would have to be on the rollers .

Yep . As far as i know they fit cobra alarms as standard .

I thought it sounded strange . Glad you got to the bottom of the problem ,lol ;)

Lol no probs .If its just the piston binding a bit , all you need to do is pop the piston out of the caliper body , check for rust obviously then copper grease the inside of the caliper , pop the piston back in jobs a good un . Doesn't take that long and costs are minimal , new fluid , a bit of...

Go for it then mate :) Just sounds like its a bit seized to me , could be sorted if thats all it is . Exchange front calipers are about £84 if you choose this route instead : http://www.speedways.co.uk/shop/

A local motor factor shop should be able to get hold of em for ya or some companies on the net . I just just find it hard to believe that " both " calipers are bent . Who actually said that they were bent ?

If you get in contact with Renault UK or maybe even a local dealership they could probably sort you out with the relevant books in English . I saw a thread a while back on here where the guy had to service book . Renault uk sent a new 1 .

So would i mate . Refurbed calipers are about £100 each on an exchange basis . My only thought was how , IF at all are the calipers bent ? If they are only slightly binding its not a hard job to fix .

Ok , if you get em fitted , get some pics of the 4 pots up , would like to see em :)

What spring / release ??? Only springs are on rear calipers ( a return spring and 5 sprung thrustwashers ) and they are inside the caliper body itself which most people never see .

How have you bent your calipers ,lol ? I'd strip em down , clean em up , take out the piston and grease inside but seeing cash ain't an issue thats up to you . I'd love to know how you've bent em , which part is bent ?

Whats wrong with your calipers mate ?

What website is it ?

The disk size should be 259mm .The disk size for a 1.2 8v is 238mm . Did you order the disks for the vehicle or did you measure the disks and order the same size as the ones that were fitted . The whole area of the pad should be in contact with the disc , usually leaving a couple of mm on the...

I have 2 handbooks . The first ( greenish ) one is generic to all clio models " except " the sport model . Then i have an additional one with 14 pages ( blue ) which is specific to the sport models .

So are they guys in the Renault garages , but they don't have a fuckin' clue what they're doin' half the time ,lol. Not sayin that you don'tknow what your doin' . Good luck with your car search mate when it comes time to part with your hard earned . If you could stretch to a 182 they're a...

F*ck knows ! Yeah right , just needs the tracking sorted , its only a 10 min job and he;s already had it in the garage , why didn't he get em to do it there and then , about a tenner , me thinks its more than the tracking thats wrong with this cars suspension .

^^^^ Lol ^^^^ So your not working / training at the mo ? Days off or what ??

Mate we've all done that .I saw a new one i wanted only 6 weeks ago , sold my car on autotrader and the one i saw was sold ,lol. Just have a look about , get to know what a good car should look like and what a car thats been hammered looks like . Maybe even take a test drive in a couple ...

You tell him Teach ;) Don't you ever sleep cossie boy ?

You tellin me you bought it ? Its readily available on the net for free ;) . I use winavi converter , converts avi's , mpegs etc to dvd , used to use santa as well . Only time i use nero is to burn a straight copy , under 4.7gb .Clonedvd rips ,shrinks and burns all in about 3 clicks of your...

You better off lookin on autotrader mate , theres usually loads on there .

I'll have a look at that one myself . I'm always open to new suggestions . Does it rip and burn in one program like clonedvd , or do ya need 2 separate programs ? Cheers :)
