I had a similar discussion with my main dealer. He told me when the 172 came out it always failed the MOT due to the brake biased being 80% front 20% rear. So in the end they had to change the regulations for the car. Normally he said there is some adjustment front and rear which surprised me...
turns out my head unit has a setting to warn you that you haven't removed the face and when I removed the head unit it reverted to factory setup. So have turned it off and the beeping has stopped. :oops:
Hi guys,
Had the battery off the car today for at least half an hour and now when I remove the keys from the ignition I get 5 beeps...
When I return to the car from locked, I get no beeps as normal, just when I turn the ignition off.
Looked through the alarm section and cant find anything for...
gotta love the search...

see mike at ren@techs advice.
it maybe you need a new one but as long as its not a faulty connection it sounds like the issue in the link
Discs are still available at Renault at that price as I called them up last week. The standard pads are about £49 and modified around £80 I think, I haven't bothered upgrading my rears as I don't think its worthwhile.

Are doing discs and pads for £135 posted or...
Had new tyres fitted on the rear on Friday and had a slightly scary moment in a high speed bend. Just checked tyre pressures 32F 37R :shock: So much better now im running 32F 30R.
Tempted to swap the new rears for the 3/4 worn fronts, what do you guys think?
I had mine done under warranty and it came to over 4K, think gearbox is 2K and the rest labor but im sure thats just what they charge renault and you could get a much better deal if you tried.
Just to update on this, the cheapest I could find the discs and pads, Renault original of course was from Tom at JMS tuning, see link.

He is doing an offer on cliosport for them fitted for £155 but delivered he is doing the parts for £135.

Think you can get the bendix ones for £20 and would rather go for these than halfords ones.
Have contacted a guy at JMS tuning about getting discs and pads at a cheap price as he was offering £155 fitted. Will report back how I get on
I am planning on changing my rear discs and pads and am phoning round to get prices.
Not really after anything uprated as I know there is little benefit and I like the fact the rear wheels are easier to clean.
Are the original rear pads made by Bendix or some other manutfatuer?
Anyone have a...
I used to work for a motorsport suspension manufacture and there were more than one hole in the roof when people had forgot to de pressurise the damper #-o
I would assume the main piston just has a series of washers of varying size to damp the shaft. I think it would be easy to get the...

See this post for details, looks like around £45. Mine was done under warranty so cant really comment, but would imagine this is easy to do yourself.
