Bled the caliper up and seems OK. I'll know if theres any air in the calipers when I go for a drive. Did the osr caliper too, the bleed nipple was all gummed up so rectified that! Next was cleaning up the rear arches. I've put this job off as it's just a messy one! Scrubbed up with some...

This is the guy who makes them.

Still looked leak free this morning but a used caliper I bought arrived and it was in much better condition. So being a pussy I decided to swap it as I dont want my brakes failing. Sliders lubed up, pistons removed cleaned and relubed then fitted. Peace of mind etc.

Just been out and the caliper appears to be leak free! I'll go for a drive tomorrow and then double check again.

You've not seen @leeds2592 recently mate

Just the P61032 mate.

After discovering the above issue, the clio was off the road for the week whilst waiting for parts to arrive. In the meantime I cleaned up the carriers to bare metal and painted them anthracite. Genuine rear discs and brembo pads arrived from @Kev@KAM. Went for brembo rears this time over...

i've emailed Kev. Knew I should have got a rebuild kit with my discs! Nightmareeeee

Is the main seal the one around the piston? Ik struggling to find any for 50/corner, especially at short notice! Might have to wince and pay ecp prices. Just dont want the whole system to leak dry!

I schlurped it up and it didnt taste like it

Potentially flipped the seal in the rear caliper? Realised I forgot to remove the cap when winding in the pistons so potential school boy error??

Well thats not true 😂

Just fitted a set of new genuine discs and brembo pads. All went okay, or so I thought. I'd forgotten to fully torque the caliper to the hub so went back out to click them on the torque wrench and noticed fluid on the nearside wheel... Appears its leaked by the piston boot and dripped down. Is...

You need to disconnect it. I found it easy to undo iirc so I cant help unfortunately! Just persevere.

My PMS shifter does have a weird gate. 3rd is more forward angled right, then 4th is back and angle right.

Someone can buy mine for £600 👀 I've managed to buy 2 now, gave one to my mate.

Throttle bodies and headlight adjusters tend to make a high pitch noise on 182s. Anything same on the dci?

Should have bought campus ones 😂 already flat!

Noticed a slight knocking noise on wednesday that eventually got worse towards the end of the week. Mainly when driving slowly, disappearing when going faster. Thatll be it then. 🙃

Just need some roof bars and you're away!

Did they check whether they were actual 197 cams?

Do you have a link to the parts you bought? Glad its sorted!

You can buy the repair kits that include a gaitor that protects the ball https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/203267546145

They're the race ones I think! Tbh I dont wash my car enough and autowheels gets it all off easily

PBS are pretty dusty from my experience

My fan came on during bleeding once up to temperature, but I didnt run the heaters iirc I bled mine quite late too I think

Turn the heaters off/go for a short drive and take some coolant with you. I just kept the cap off and ran the car for 20 mins whilst squeezing the top hose. Undid the bleed screw again and coolant pissed straight out with no air.

You definitely need to lower the subframe. Basically, undo pinch bolt on rack, remove nearside subframe bolts, fully loosen drivers side bolts. Remove hubs both sides, disconnect ARB, remove shocks as it's easy to. The whole lot then wiggles out the passenger side

Just drop it out the bottom. Much less faff

You monster.
