brakes

Hello, not sure if a coincidence or not.. Yesterday i got two front tyres fitted and tracking done on my 172. On the way home after i heard a slight grinding noise upon breaking and pulling away. It is a rubbing/grinding noise and gets louder from the point of braking. Not sure if like the...

Just had some Brembo HC's and Mintex M1144's fitted and after 200 miles, they are deafening me and pedestrians when I brake from 30MPH. The squeal only really kicks in under 20MPH, and gets progressively louder the longer I keep my foot on the brake. If the cars sat for an hour they won't make...

Does anyone know the diameter of silicon hose required to fit on the bleed nipple? and also, will 1 litre of fluid be enough to flush and replace the current fluid?

Running KTR Fast Road front and rear discs with DS2500 pads on the front and unknown pads on the rear. Now... bought and fitted in 2009 and have done roughly 40k miles on them. Now I know that sounds alot but they still have plenty of meat on the pads and they stop the car as they should...

Not near my car at the moment so cant measure, just wondered if anyone has figures for: Distance between the caliper and the nearest point on the inside of the wheel (ie how many mm it could be spaced before it hit) Distance between the disk and the nearest point on the inside of the wheel (ie...

How can I get them off??? To fit on my new . Can I heat them ?? I don't think this will help because I'm also heating the brake disc itself .

Hi All, New to all this forum stuff but havin read some great threads I feel i'm in safe hands !! yr a friendly bunch and full of knowledge....so my question... I have to replace the rear discs and pads for MOT, have bought original Renault with ABS ring and bearings, I am prepping my 172 for...

Quick question which is probably gonna be daft but need it confirming before I go back the garage! Ive just had a new brake pipe and fluid as part of the mot work however the pedal has gone spongey. Having looked the top cap on the reservoir had a lot of fluid on it so I assumed it wasn't on...

Basically got my car on the road yesterday , nothing major but my brakes are squeaking under slow speeds like traffic stop start . Im running brembo hc discs and mintex 1144 pads . Upon fitting i filed down the edges on pad so they move in the carrier . Also a smear of brake grease on the lugs...

I've recently just bought a 172 and was wondering if there is any brakes off any other Renault models that will improve the braking for track days? Not want to spend a fortune on four pots

Hi Guys, I have driven my Clio only a couple of times recently (I have a company car so it only gets driven really for track days) and the brakes are sticking. I never leave the handbrake on but leave the car in gear. I am concerned this is going to start to destroy my discs and pads. Any...

Split my old braided line and needed a replacement today as I've got to drop the car off on Cheshire. Got a new one from renparts can I just quickly swap them over and top the fluid up or do I need to bleed the whole system? I just need the car to get me over there as it won't be moving and I...

Im currently driving a 2002 1.4 16v and the brakes are pretty rubbish! I have 15inch wheels and not really wanting to change them. From research i believe the biggest disc size i can have is 285mm, and i believe that the standard 182 brakes are 280mm. What would i have to do to put 182 discs and...

wheres the cheapest place to get rear discs and pads for my f1 r27 clio 2007

Pretty much im being a tight ass, The rear brakes work fine (judging this that the handbrake holds well) but the faces of the discs are pretty worn, to the point where round the outer edge the metalic look to it. Abit like this. But alot smoother looking. Question is will i pass the MOT with...

Did a cheeky search but couldn't find a definitive answer tbh. Passenger rear brake is sticking on, and as such getting red hot. Rolled to a stop onto my drive today and could hear the brakes binding. Passenger rear was also red hot, like really hot! Rest were cold. Quick fix or do I need to...

Getting new front and rear disc's and pads next week, and heard the rear's are a nightmare! Anyone up here wanna fit them for me, give me a decent price? Thanks :)

Done now:

Does anyone else have noisy brakes, ive just done 3k miles and it seems other than change the pads im stuck with it, does anyone else use muc-off wheel cleaner?

Just wanting a bit of advice on this dodgy issue my car seems to have. As per the title really the brakes seem to perform really crap in the wet and the pedal feels a little hard sometimes. First noticed it after driving through a big puddle which made them really bad and they barely worked...

Probs guess from title. Wondering if they are the same fitment. Set of brembo's ffrom a 406 with adapters for a valver but obs need too know if they would fit. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

hi guys! First of all can i wish you all a merry xmas! My problem is as follows.... a few months back i had new rear pads fitted as they were running low, a couple of weeks after this i noticed one of the back brakes locking on as the wheel was very hot during normal driving. The car was up...

Just fitted a set of EBC ultimax discs and yellowstuff pads all round, oh and a set of toyo proxes T1R to my RB182 cup. I am well impressed so far, heres a few pics stock front brakes ebc front setup stock rear ebc rear the pads have a break in coating on which really helped to...

Trying to change my rear pads, got the carrier off without too much of an issue, got the old pads out and new ones in just fine. But now I cant get the carrier to line up with the bolt holes at all to fix it back in, no matter how much i wind or unwind the piston. What glaringly obvious...

I couldn't get the rear brakes to release this morning (yes I'd left the handbrake on...). The handbrake released, or the lever went down, but nothing moved. 2 jugs of warm water later I was away. The handbrake lever is now really loose, the handbrake works, but only right at the top of the...

I've got another thread going on in the SBW&T area. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?672331-The-old-air-in-the-brakes-problem-tried-everything! In short I have got air into the brake system when trying to bleed it (I let the reservoir run dry). I have tried everything including...

Hi guys, So I was changing my brake fluid and SLLLUURRRPPPPP the reservoir ran dry... bugger. This was when doing one of the rear corners, I think it was the off side rear. Finished all corners and yep, the pedal went all the way to the floor with the engine running. Bled it again, didn't fix...

i had my mot on Saturday and had a search on here but could only find people saying their rears were locking up, but mine are the other way the work cause go a reading on 30 on both sides and a reading of 300 on both fronts. was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to why the rears are pretty...
