    You must have sliders otherwise only 1 of your two pads would wear and the brakes would be rubish.

    changing brakes - help please

    You cannot warp disks what happens is you stop dead with your foot on the pedal and some of the pad sticks to the disk when you drive off the bit of pad making the disks uneven. Hard 60-10mph stops a few time then leave the brakes for a bit to cool down. Don't stop and put your foot on the...

    Longer Wheels Bolts info needed Please.

    Cup bolts are the same as normal Clio bolts. I'll have a mesaure of the ones I've got in a second but they look about right. Hubcentrical are a better option but if your only using them for a short time why not use your old wheels to save the money.

    changing brakes - help please

    To bed those pads in properly you need to do some serious stoipping 60-10 a few times for the first few times to get them to work properly. Halfords stuff would be OK but depending how you are on track you migth find it boils quick quickly so you'd need to bled the brakes for the better stuff...

    Starting Problems =(

    If its under warently you'll get a new TDC sensor its all covered if the dealer stanrts getting difficult tell them its not fitfor purpose so doesn't matter how long it last if it dies in less that 5 years its not suitable for its task.

    changing brakes - help please

    Doesn't matter wich order you do them in you'll need about 2 liters of fluid as you'll spill loads trying to bleed the air out of the circuit affter you've fiotted all the lines. I'd wait for better fluid stock fluid boils easly with harder pads. halfords use to see super dot 4 response which...

    Accident damage to my clio, need help!

    Wiring up is easy the noraml brake lines match up the handbrake cable need fitting and you need to plug in the ABS sensors then the 4 bolts to hold it in place and err thats it. Its overkill a bit but most 172's don't need rear disks. Personally I'd go to a breakers and get a axle froma...

    Accident damage to my clio, need help!

    Its about 1.5 hours worrk to swop only 4 bolts as said. Biggest think is bleeding the brakes. Rear axles even drum ones are expensive £400 I think last time I checked. If the airbags gon off you need a new airbags or resisters in the lines. Then you need to either get a newcomputer (£350 or...
