Weathers crap today, otherwise i'd go out and have a better look. I'm pretty sure all the routing of the cables was fine though, and all are properly slotted. Does anyone have a picture of the route for the NSR? Mine goes through the frame near the adjuster, then into the clip, then passes near...

Be better to just replace the whole caliper i'm thinking? Then it's just fit and bleed? Just don't want it to be something else. One side was 91kgf, the other 89kgf during the MOT test, now after stripping and rebuilding carriers etc it seems that the NSR is loads less than the other side...

I can't see it blowing anywhere, unless it's leaking on the olive joint as I have put a new gasket/fitting kit on the cat. It's running an aftermarket exhaust, so could one pipe want covering whilst they test the other?

Hmm okay i'll try other things first though as it may be simpler. Could it be that the pads need filing? They look fairly new and were a bit of a pain to get in the carriers when i tried, so maybe why the piston isn't moving back properly? Will have another play tomorrow, just want it MOTed then...

Ahh okay. The pads just feel like they're binding after handbrake/brake was applied whilst the back end was in the air. As if the pistons weren't properly disengaging. New brake fluid required? Never changed fluid before, but I don't see it being too hard?

It doesn't seem like the pads move too freely. The retaining clips seem to hold them quite tight, is that normal? What would usually make the piston return to it's existing position? I did notice when working on one side, that the other side seemed to work better. So could this be the...

Cableties to the rescue...

I'm fairly trusting of the cat tbh as it's a genuine part not a pattern part. Is it normal for HC/CO to be so low? Seemed weird to me.

It's been running a decat for all my ownership so far, and the EML was always on then as it was tied up out of the way and the post-cat blocked off. When I use Torque (Fairly unreliable I know) it gives me bank 1 sensor 2, so i presume post cat? It could just be it's not had time to properly...

Been for my MOT today and unfortunately the car failed on 3 things... Handbrake efficiency, lambda reading too high, and headlight too low. I just fitted a genuine (used) cat to the clio, but kept the existing lambda sensors, however I'm led to believe that the post cat sensor may be failing as...

Any sunstrip worth getting is illegal as all will sweep into it on the wipers.

New handbrake cables fitted today. Unfortunately a bolt snapped on the heatshield, and another had been snapped by a PO. Will have to get these drilled out properly as I don't know how much of a good job my cables ties will do. 20170222_141958 by Louis Walker, on Flickr Yep, snapped. New...

Only a spotted on here ages ago. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/gv59-jto-rb-197-a2100-battle-east-sussex-1240ish-21-9-11.602181/

Go wiperless, 100% better ;)

Have you eliminated the knock potentially coming from an exhaust mounting? Probably something you've already done but just thought i'd put it out there! Sound travels weirdly so often you can think it's from one place when it's from another. Can you not recreate the knock anywhere with the car...

Your driveway is just ace.

Just take the vosa notice with you, they may overlook the issue.

Been looking to see if there's a comparable one with another car, as they're loads cheaper! Just many don't come with the actual gasket itself.

Just bought a genuine kit, not worth the hassle and gives me a nice new gasket too.

It's a PO who has bodged my cat fitting kit. One side looks like a genuine spring, the other looks like one that was lying around. Cheers for the link. I think i'll just go genuine though for now.

What springs would you use with this? I'd use the ones on my kit, but the springs are both different...

Just seen that one comprising of SS bolts on here.. Might try that, but i'd have to price it up for comparison.

Just removed my decat in preparation for the removal of my handbrake cables/fitment of my cat and found that the fitting kit is basically missing all the parts apart from the spring, a washer and a nut. I had been hoping to re-use this really but it has a different sized spring on one side too...

Think i've seen this on CSOC.

Lovely car mate and great pictures!

Replaced the glovebox/boot light with some LED's to match the rest of the cars lighting and got it up fairly high on axle stands ready for tomorrows replacement of handbrake cables/ fitting of cat. Plenty of penetrating oil was applied over everything in preparation, so hopefully i dont have...

I was wrong.

Is it a connector for the side impact sensors? What car? Check under the seats right on the edge near the trim. I could be wrong.
