Rear discs> £165.25+vat

[Marshallahsram]

Just phoned renault up to get a price on a set of discs+pads all round......just my rear discs are £165.25+vat!!! Everything, parts only, comes to £325.10+vat :dead:

i need to sit down......

rear disks are an arse as the bearings and ABS rings are pressed in, i have some plain ones and will reuse the bearings

m8 ring gdi 150quid with vat on i think

Does anyone know if my discs+pads are the same as 1*2 ones??

The conversation to the parts guy got quite heated, when first of all he said my didnt exist, and then he said my car doesnt have discs on the back. I ended up having to get my chassis number!

[Marshallahsram]

They'll be the same as the RS ones, the Ph3 1.6 and dCi100 were fitted with a disc rear axle. As said get them from GDI they sell genuine renault ones for £130 with the CS discount as your a member.

Indeedy all use 238mm solid IIRC.

How can you reuse the existing bearings? What tooling you require for that?

Its crazy to reuse the bearing, there is a good chance of damaging the disc when removing it, fine with the used ones, but should a bearing fail on your new ones, you will need to get it removed and potential end up buy a new pair of discs. The rear bearings are the most reliable and are unlikely to last the life of two rear discs.

ABS rings are easy to transfer over and can be re-used. If you buy non Reno discs without bearisng, bearings can be bought from a motorfactors for as littles as £15 a corner.

All you need is a press to press the old bearing out and back into the new discs, bit of a false economy though tbh.
