Load sensing valve top spring

[Samos52]

My rear load sensing valve on my clio 172 cup is mossing the top spring. Anyone k ow where i can get one?? Also does anyone have a link for the new DVSA cert that says about the lack of rear braking efficiency?

The Cup one doesn't sense load. It's just set to feck all effort. It's why they can't tow and have a load capacity of a measly 300kg. That's from my cup manual supplement.

Ok so will this not fail an mot then. I've just had the car checked over at a garage because i've just bought it and this is what he's told me.

Mot tester is a tool.

Click on the first link about archiving and it should download. Article is on page 8. The initial pdf download doesn't work.

As long as your calipers, discs and pads are all good they provide a little braking but that's all. It's common to have rusty rear discs but they are cheap and pretty easy to replace as they come as a unit from Renault including the rear bearing.

Parts suppliers on here do very good prices.
