Ouch, nasty.
I've had an Irish Blackpool-'bus driving muppet scrape the back of my car before.
C*** made it drag on 18 months in an attempt to keep his job, then caved in the day before it went to trial.
B*****d.
Hope yours gets sorted quickly.
How firmly mounted are the calipers?
If as you say all fluids are fresh and fully bled, it might be that the pads are getting knocked away from the disc hence you needing to pump them back into contact.
Normally only happens when taking kerb on track, but if your calipers are a new fit...
I use a Sony DCR-HC18E - nothing special but has good image stabilisation and will film anamorphic for true 16:9 widescreen - mounted on one of these headrest mounts... http://www.b-hague.co.uk/Mounting%20Brackets.htm
The session in this clip was 'free' - it was part of an experience day...
"Is an instruction session worth it?" - is an often asked question.
This guy was worth s***-loads.

He responded to areas where I was weak, and communicated well :approve:
I personally would recommend Rentech in Portsmouth.
Run by Mike who used to work for a Renault franchise, he's the only one to have serviced my car in all of its 90k+ miles.
If you page back through the dealership section, you'll come across plenty of threads praising him, and I've never...
Or...maybe I should have HPI checked it before parting with £10k+ of my own money. He could have told me, maybe he should have told me, but ultimately it's my responsibility to be happy that I'm paying a price relevant to what I'm getting. Countless people in this thread have said you'd need...
At what point is the line drawn?
I mean, I bumped up a kerb the other day, which has probably knocked my tracking out, but my tyres have yet to show signs of uneven wear.
If I sold my car without stating that in the advert or specifically drawing attention to it, I'm being out of order...
When I sell on my Focus, do I need to get approval on the wording of the advert and price from everyone on here beforehand?
If I advertise it at an optomistic price in an effort to get maximum value, does that make me a c**t too?
I really don't see what the problem is here.
You research a...
Ours isn't too bad on the neck as we sit about 4 metres away. The leaflet that came with our mounting kit said the centre of the screen shouldn't be more than 15 degrees above your eye line.
For me, you have to be able to rag the hell out of a hot hatch, and throw it the f*** about.
Nothing better.
To do that in a 300bhp FWD barge on anything but a track is suicidal.
Just remembered, I collected this en route to a breakfast run once...luckily it didn't punch through. Pulled most of it out, but there were some bits still wrapped in the mesh...I let my cat sort that out.
F*** a duck! Lucky, very lucky.
I did a fox at 80mph once in my old Fiesta. Pulled the whole front valance under the car.
Didn't want to look under the car when I'd stopped in case it was still there with only half a face LOL
No idea yet. It's all boxed up in the attic except the parcel shelf which I sold.
I will drag it all into work at some point to see what it adds up to.
Nothing wrong with that car or the motor in my opinion.
The Duratec 2.5 in my Mondeo, and the 2.5 in my Omega both made only approx. 170 bhp.
The 2.5 V6 in a Jaguar X-Type makes less than that Kia.
What's so wrong with that motor?
I put mine on the scales at work and it weighed 12.4 kgs with the front rubber mats included, and they weighed 3 kgs alone.
That's not far off the weight of a spare wheel.
If you get as far as I have, it makes more of a difference, as you're removing a proportionately larger piece.
No mention of less sound insualtion?
Thought they'd have ripped that out to start with.
£15k is a lot is it?
I remember when the 172 Cup came out in 02/03 at £13k list price - most thought that was a bargain.
£2k increase bearing in mind the size and practicality + technical advances -...
Harsh ride that.
You know what you need to do though...find a reputable Renault specialist - the dealer network is somewhere that I never want to be again.
