I've taken the carrier for the pads of the o/s rear on my ph1. When I've gone to refit it the bolt holes won't line up. I haven't replaced the pads or discs, they are the same as before. Any ideas how to refit it?

Hi all have the humming noise of a wheel bearing on it's wAy out on my 182 driving me mad. Done some searches on here and am I right in thinking if the discs were replaced this includes the bearing too? Discs seem ok but look like they getting old so may uprate my front discs . Anyone know...

What do they mean by 'service' brake ? "Vehicle has only just met the required service brake efficiency. Aooear that system requires adjustment or repair." Is the service brake the main system or handbrake ?

hi guys, may be a stupid question but are there any problems with fitting second hand discs? basically iv been offered them from my mate as his has been rear ended. he picked up the discs in august last year, and they have covered around 5000miles. visually the discs are in good condition with...

Scenic just failed MOT on broken spring at front. Have seen a full set of apex springs, -30mm, at £60 from euro performance. Anyone with any opinions on these ? Also needs rear disks. Do the megane discs have the bearing pressed in like the Clio ?

Most of the time my brakes on my 55 plate 182 (cup pack) are great, but occationally when I jump in the car they are seriously rubbish. I'm pushing really hard and not a lot is happening. After a fair bit of pumping the pedal, they get going again. But it is a worry. I first thought it was the...

Where is the best place for rear discs and pads on a 172? searched eurocarparts but they dont seem to list much. thanks.

Hi guys, as I said in my previous post about my Toyo's, on getting the new exhaust fitted I've managed to get a proper look at the car and found that one of the rear shocks had gone and that the front discs are wearing so I need new examples of each. Just wondered what you guys would...

Pretty sure my brakes have had it, they don't really work anymore. I'm thinking of getting some Brembo HC discs for the front. Are the Ferrodo 2500's still the best pads?? Seem quite steep in price compared to the price of the brembos?? Do I just go with standards on the back as recommended?

Anyone know of any 4 pots for sale or what be the best to use on a clio 16v or would you get the calipers off a 172 or 182 to fit to get better braking??
