rubbish, the pads will be seized in the calipers, the stock pads are too big and get stuck in the caliper
get them to change the pads, but when fitting new pads, grind the edges down slightly so the pad is "free" to move
no chance a brembo caliper is seized
if its leaking out the bolts its an easy fix, if its leaking out the cover, BIG JOB
full cambelt change + 1hour to sort it
don't worry about it, its fairly standard they leak
cheap for cams! i worked on their old blue 182 demo car that was allegedly 220bhp (high comp engine with 421's IIRC) it was quick, but not 220bhp quick, peaky as hell
purely because no one makes one, cup racers ran road car ARB's on the front
IMO the ultimate setup for a clio is a soft front end and a rock hard rear - perfect
its rare to see one that doesn't leak, its due to how they (the frenchies) assemble the engines at factory, they use a paint roller (yes, madness) to apply some shitty sealant as its quicker
