brakes

A mate of mine is selling Megane 225 brakes which are 308 mm discs and calipers...i know they are 5 stud but i know someone who can machine them to 4 stud to fit my 172 But my question is will they fit over my 16 inch wheels?

Hey guys, just had my cup fail MOT because of rear brakes not doing anything. Originally they thought it was because the load sensing actuating arm was missing but i showed them the vosa article and told them that they might want to try putting a cable tie on the valve. Anyway they did this and...

I ‘m going to try bleeding my brakes myself following a track-day yesterday, the fluid is new so just want to check for air bubbles in the callipers and push a drop of fluid through the callipers. Am fairly mechanically competent and will do it the old fashioned way and get somebody to push...

Hiya, One thing has been on my mind regarding 172 brakes (on a Ph1 if that makes any difference). Mine don't seem to have any initial bite, I've heard that they aren't overly servo assisted but they feel very weak initially. Pressing on they stop well enough and it triggers the ABS no problem...

THought I would post on here to see whether anyone in or around York fancies fitting my brakes...... Ive bought them, just need them fitting....someone was doing them for me but can no longer. Just posting before I take it to a garage Ill obviously pay and supply you with unlimited cups of...

hi guys right this weekend i had the pleasure of doing the disks and pads all round on my 2002 scenic. front was ok to do. then i came to the back ones. both the rear calipers the pistons wouldnt go back in but after some time i got them wound back in. SO all back together and off for a test...

right just changed the pads in my 172 when finished pumped the brake pedal everything felt fine until i just drove it there's no pedal until i pump it but then goes again straight after. really need to sort this out going wales tomorrow any advice would be grateful thanks

Does anyone know if 15" wheels will fit over 1*2 brakes ?

Hi guys, Just recently both my rear brakes have stopped working, yes i know the rear brakes hardly do anything especially on a cup but they got to the point of being permanently rusty! My bro has looked at it for me this morning and came back to me with the following, No Fluid at either rear...

will the calipars mount up? mums car needs new brakes.. my 182 brakes are new.. will the calipars fit her hubs? if so, is it a straight forward swap?

can this be done, anybody know whats involved?

At the moment when I get on the brakes, the pedal compresses as normal, but the brakes are locking up and there's a sort of scraping noise for a second. The pads and discs are both ok, they were new not too long ago. Doesn't matter if it's wet or dry, the same thing happens.

Hello All I’ve started running a Clio RS racer in the VLN championship at the Nurburgring and I am having an issue with the brakes being very over-sensitive. It only takes a very light pressure to apply full braking force and ultimately its extremely difficult to modulate them and generally...

The brakes have been squeaking for a while now when pressure is applied to the brake pedal. The discs and pads are all fine, and infact were only recently replaced. In the past I have sprayed copper grease onto the shims and this seems to temporarily solve the problem for about a month, only to...

I painted the callipers on the MK2, and the paint on only one side seems to be ever so slightly craking, even though I used hammerite. Is there need for a primer/ laquer to be applied?

My brakes squeal when travelling slowly and brakes applied lightly. Was wondering whether it would be brakepads or what not, so is there any advice before i book it into a garage. Brakes work fine just annoying. Also read something about brakedust so if there is anything I can do myself to try...

there is absolutely nothing happening in the first 3/4 of the brake pedal. even the bottom 1/4 is really weak. when i pump the pedal with the engine off it goes stiff(ish) execpt for the first 1/4 of movement. i did not bleed the brakes afterward, wasnt sure if i had to? help and solutions...

Hey all! I had my brakes replaced after hitting the Nurburgring for the 1st time in my Clio 182. A mate did it, and he said the bolt which held the caliper to the hub had threaded. A few days later, the caliper came loose and I lost all of my brake fluid, so had no brakes! Basically I took it...

After some new front brakes, lookin on the K-Tec site and come across these; http://k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1148&appid=2 To be honest ive got no idea what im looking for :p Anybody got an reviews on them? Fairly cheap etc? worth spending more for a better set up? Adam

Anyone ever fitted this set up onto a 172 or 182? Easy to do and will the discs fit under 15" wheels?

Just a quick question DS2500 or the Mintex 1144.. On Brembo HC discs... And what set up for the rear do you recommend?

hey im thinking of upgrading my brakes when i get my alloys referbs anybody got any suggestions to a good upgrade over the standard 182 brakes?

I currently have Brembo front pads and Discs with the original calipers. I don't fancy changing the calipers just yet but the discs have scored very badly. Can anyone recommend a better disc and pad, proven to them to work really well. The car is used for track days 'enthusiastically' by me and...

Hi have been looking to upgrade my brakes on the front but wondered if 197 discs and calipers, both brembo would fit on my 2005 182, thanks nick

Ongoing problem. Brakes were really stiff to use, I located what looked like air leaking from a fairly shoddy vacuum set up. (On ITBs) Danny at 519 has made a nice tidy replacement job for that - which improved pedal feel slightly, but did not solve it... Put some new discs (Brembo HC) and...

Guys, I’m having issues with heat through the brakes/ tyres and wheels. I have melted 2 spigot rings and 3 center caps i have now taken out the inner arches and it still holds a lot of heat, thinking of taking out the fog lights but... Will this have an adverse effect on the air movement...

My mk2 has drum brakes as opposed to disc brakes at the rear. I was just wondering if it's still possible to use camber shims to alter the rear camber even though they are drum brakes?

Hiya I've been looking about and noticed the Megane DCI 80 brakes are 280mm disks, do they use the same calliper's, pads and discs as the RS Clio's by any chance ? Thanks Paul

i'm looking at doing my rear discs & pads but never done rear's before how easy it?

I fitted my new rear brake discs to my trophy on the weekend and ever since then when driving slowly with windows down I can hear them dragging slightly.... I have done about 100miles since they were fitted and I can still hear them... The car has Bendix pads on the rear and they were not...
