182 brake change?

[Rob182]

My car has come out the renault service centre and they have told me my brake pads and disks and gone after 22k

I think the dealer is tring to make money out of me :quiet:

is it easy to change the disks and pads, is it any different changing disks and pads with abs to cars without abs?

It's very easy if your mechanically confident. Go look at them does the disks have a lip on them? Abs is no different. (well my 172(abs) and old 106 (no abs) are pretty much the same idea)

thanks,

i see there is a guide on changing the pads, but does anyone know if there is a guide on changing the disks?

Thanks
Rob

Trust me, if you can change the pads you can change the discks, it's easy, just undue the 2 small bolt holding them on, think you have to undue the lower calipa mount, so it can lift up out of the way.

thanks DrRollo,

if any could add some pics that would be great.


also where is the best place to buy the disks and pads (renault ones),

there for the front not the rear, and ABS!

seen the follow items on yozzasport, are they the right ones?

ive just ordered a set of these

hell accept a best offer of £75 + postage. so considerably cheaper than standard 182 disks and by all accounts pretty damn good, although mine arent installed yet. Going to fit them with standard renault pads which are available from Renault for £48

i have been told i have to keep it all renault for my warranty??
