I use Ferodo premier FDB 845 £17 they are from halfords.
Theres only type of brakes the catalogues are wrong the car uses the same calipers as the Williams/1.8 16V and the 5gtt (different sized disks are used at 239mm on the 5gtt wheras none RS clio Mk2 phas2 2 cars use 259mm disk)
From the box it looks like there the same as the Pegot 205 gti and cti amoung others .
I don't use copper grease I've never had any squeeling from them and I'm cheap and lazy.
To do the brakes
The caliper is held on with two bolts on the back of it you need to remove these two bolts or just remove and and spin the caliper round (I always remove both). The bolt can spin so you need a spanner on the inside of the calpier so the nut comes out.
You can push the caliper back very slowly (else you will flip the master cylinder seals) with your hands. If your not strong or if like me you can use a G clamp to push the piston right back in. Just make sure you go very slowly.
My prefered method is to undo the bleed nipple (8mm nut) on the caliper slightly so when you push the piston back the fluid goes out through the bleed nipple hence reducing the chance of flipping the master clyinder seals. I'd always bleed the system though as its amazing the amount of air you can have in it.
When the caliper off you just need to remove the pads a screwdriver etc can be needed as they can get stuck.
Then just do it all in reverse put the caliper back on tighten the nuts on the calipr back tight and stick the wheel on.
Regards self adjusting though when you've finsihed with the car on its wheels press the pedal a few times with the engine off this should push the calipers to the right distance contact with the disk. Just check before you drive off though to bed the brakes in that they do work.
To bed the brakes in though you need to get the car to 60 or so mph and slam on hard brakign to about 5mph but don't stop then accelerate to 60 again and brake do this about 10 times then drive round not using the brakes to let them cool off.
the worst thing you can do to brakes is stop fully with you foot on the pedal as this causes the hot pads to stick to the disks when they drive off some of the pad sticks to the disk making it unever. People think they have warped the disks when its just down to there use of brakes.
To bleed the calipers
Go to Halfords and buy one of there eazy bleed one make kits £20 or so. Then get the fluid, Halfords sell the super dot 4 stuff whcih I've found fine for use.
Then stick the screw on top on the brake reservoir then check you've got a good seal by attaching a tyre to the relevent pipe. If air comes out then tigthen the seal a bit more (I use a par of mole grip like thingies)( make sure the rubber seal is in the screw top though).
Then remove the pipe from the tyre. Fill the bottle with fluid and screw on tight. and reatach the tyre to the suytem.
To bleed a claiper remove the dust cap and with an 8mm spanner undo the bleed nipple and with a pipe over the end of the bleed nipple going to a clear bottle (so you can see the fluid coming out) loosen the bleed nipple. Leave it open for a bit you might find nothing seems to come out for some time (20~30 seconds) if your brakes have loads of air in them. Then leave the nippple lose and let a bit of fluid come out you'll often find that after a few seconds of smoothtly running fluid coming out there will be another air pocket.
Once your sure the caliper has no air in it tigten the nipple up and put the dust cap back on.
Jsut remember brake fluid iosn't nice stuff wear gloves wash your hands and wash the wheels and anywhere the fluid can have got to. If you have ABS you need to bleed the brakes in this sequence.

The official Renault manual says to do them in the order
Left front
Right front
Left rear
Right rear
I've done them in both order and so long as you bleed the calpiers right there shouldn't be a problem with either method.

Just do a search for posts by me I've written loads of guides never managed to write one whole one with pics. Its the same as the one for the 172's which is stickied on the forum in Exterior, Power & Mechanical.
I'll write one whole guide up some time with pictures.
