Hi, my clio 197 brakes have gone spongy and inconsistent with pressure. I've noticed an internal leak from the brake booster. I've scoured the net and simply cannot find a RHD replacement. Apparently, it has been discontinued by Renault. I've seen mentions of a Peugeot 406 fitting, but not...

I’ve had a clicking sound on the front drivers side of my car for a few months and I can’t figure out what it is. it started happening a few thousand miles after changing dics and pads. It happens when pulling off or when I accelerate then come off the accelerator. What I’ve changed: Brake pads...

Hi guys, just want to bounce this off someone. Clio 172 ph2 non cup with abs. I’m no stranger to rebuilding bike/car brakes etc, spent more time doing it than I care to think about although I’m less familiar when it comes to abs systems. So the story, Brakes were fine prior to this. few...

Hi All, Car is recently off the road with the exhaust manifold and everything out which we all know is a PITA, and I happened to look at the brake servo while I was there. There's rust on the servo that looks to me like it would have been caused by fluid leaks from the master cylinder...

My dCi 100 just failed its MOT on the rear flexi part of the rear axle brake pipes being corroded ASF! I know that Renault used to sell these but can't seem to find them anywhere! I have a spare dCi 100 which I'm currently pulling apart for spares (for just this such an occasion), they're the...

I'm building a 172 Cup into a track car. My main priority is gonna be suspension and brake setup to start with (though I am easily distracted by shiny things) but I have no idea where to start. My goal is, obviously, improved handling. I plan to do most of the work myself; I've worked on...

Hi all, I have a abs problem on a 2006 megane 1.6. The abs light has come on so I've hooked it up to the diagnostics and that's come back saying there's no reading from the drivers side abs sensor. Inspecting the sensor I found that the clip that holds the abs in had broke. Since then I've...

After swapping front wheels to back today I came across a fully fractured rear disc in three places. Decided after doing a rear brake overhaul and the fronts having been done 2 months ago by previous owner, I would fit braided lines and new fluid. Chose my lines (good ridge - as they pressure...

Hi all, Been lurking on this forum for a couple of months now, decided to finally start a thread for my Arctic Blue FF 182. Picked up the car from a private seller over in Pontefract back in November, paid a fair price given its mileage (~70k) and the crucial belts and timing done in Aug 15 on...
