Its not getting hold of em , its how much they cost , even from a breakers they can be £60 just for one .Then you don't know if its any good until you fit it .
Cat d and c are repairable but uneconomical for the insurance company . Yeah it has to have strict a test before its put back on the road .
Check our wrecks n rides on sky Tuesday nights , Vicky Butler Henderson and some annoying bald cockney bloke ...
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 .
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...

If they are only slightly binding its not a hard job to fix .
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 ?
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...
