Squeeky and spongy brakes

HHHMMM how can it be fixed is it just some copper polish to stop sqeeks or do i need new pads etc. If so how much ta x

I think you mean copper grease , put it on the back of the pads , sometimes helps , thats if it is the brakes .

My 182's developed a squeak , only 3000 miles on the clock , i thought it was the pads so i copper greased em but its still doing it .Now i've worked out its the suspension so its booked into Renault in 2 weeks , for them to check it over and sort the knocking on full lock problem .

You could try phoning these for brake pads, i think we get cliosport dsicount also .

Sounds like Driveshaft problems mate... squeaks when slowing down and knocks on full lock. (usually worse in reverse)

spongy brakes?< change your brake fluid or at least bleed the brake lines..

Never heard of the suspension making squeeling noises under braking on a renault, are you sure you put the squeel shims back in right?

Mines squeaking when its stationary , if i stand on the sill and bounce up and down on it . Its under warranty as its only a couple of months old so i'll get em to sort it . Just my luck to have a problem , i had my old 172 from new for just over 4 years and fcuk all went wrong with it , had this a couple of months and its goin' back

The knocking on full lock is apparentley a commom problem on 182's .I wasn't gonna bother gettin' it sorted as its not detrimental to the cars handling but seein' that its goin' back they might as well sort that as well .
