pads

Hi. First post and selling. Bad ettiquette I know :oops: but I have been viewing the site for a while now when my missus was looking to upgrade her car so have viewed quite a lot as a guest. Anyway, onto business. She has found her new car so her other car is up for sale. This has been owned...

What does 3 short tones mean?? My T does it randomly currently once a week lol

I know a few of you are into it on here, I was wondering if any one can suggest any decent routes around the Lakes. I've been to Ambleside for a walking holiday but never MTB up there... Any thoughts!? Cheers!

I apologise now as this will of been asked a millions times.... Whats your thoughts for fast road setup that won't brake the bank? and on the rears i was looking at K-tek's site do u have to replace bearing or can i just slap new disc and pads?? I confused lol (not hard i hate brakes)

Random question... How often do you carry more then 2 people in your T? Maximum people I carry is 3 as the leg room is non existent behind the driver and I don't think anyone would want to sit in the back on top of the Orb! But I also remember seeing a photo a few years back of someones rear...

My Girlfriend got me these for Christmas.... :D :D Not yet been for a drive but I have strapped myself in a few times :) , cant wait to test them out. ^^ I used some red trim the same as the car mats to trim the edge of the car carpet to tidy it up a bit. ^^ Ben.

Hi Guys! I've just bought new Genuine Renault rear discs for my T. These come complete with bearings and ABS rings fitted and cost me £88.00 without pads but you can get them with genuine Renault pads for £117.00. This is a massive saving compared to dealership prices of around £140+VAT! Free...

I put new discs and pads on the front of my T today, and whilst doing the job I was just thinking whether it would be possible to fit a set of clio 197 brembo 4 pots on it rather than what the cars got. I know that the 197 and new 200 both use 4 pot brembo's and 17" wheels, but does anyone know...

Hey guys and gals, My other half and I have taken the decision to sell the Clio, my other half is expecting our first baby next month, and as she is now off work we can't afford to run both cars, so we need to sell this one to pay off a few depts. Ok here's the spec: 2005 '05' Reg Liquid...

I recently fitted Brembo Max fronts adn standard rears with red stuff all round,(awaits the slating of red stuff, lol). For the first 300miles or so they were fine with easy breaking. After that i decided i would try giving them some hard breaking just to see how good they were. They were...

I'm going to order a new set of discs tonight for the front! Going to go with ebc drilled and grooved + red stuff pads. I was going to go down the standard disc road but changed my mind! :D I just want to confirm before i go ahead and order, what size the front discs are? I can't remember if...

Has anyone used them or does anyone know whether they are any good? I went to a shop near me at Uni last week and they sold them.They were £113 for a front set which is about the same as Ds2500 i think

With the imminent arrival of my new car the time has come to sell my beloved Trophy. :( Will "officially" go on sale next weekend, but I'm putting it up here first. Decent pics will follow then, for now these are from the day before the Gaydon meet a fortnight ago, since when I've used it...

Hey guys, im looking to buy a cliosport but cant decide whether to get a 182 Cup or pay a bit more for a Trophy. Any advice? Cheers

Hi guys Been using the carbon lorraine pads for the past few weeks but still find them very noisy. Can anybody recommend a good all round pad thats good for normal and fast road use that wont cost the earth? Wont use them on track as have the carbons still which i find excellant apart from...

All, Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed: It's had: 36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done -...

Hi all, I am completely new to Renaults full stop, I have only ever had fords/vauxhalls in the past so i'm out of my depth but as you will see I couldn't pass this up!. Not sure where to start really, I was offered a clio as an ex company car (who I work for) and was told it had high mileage...

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 write to you as a man in need. I've been spending the last couple of weeks on Pistonheads/Autotrader eagerly awaiting a sub-50,000 mile-ish Trophy to become available through a dealership. I've got Park's Renault (Glasgow) and Arnold Clark Renault both on the lookout. It seems there's not...

Hi I'm thinking about selling my T. Only bought her in May and was planning to use as a daily drive but...maybe I'm getting a bit old...ride is a bit too firm for my tastes on the roads near me. On the right roads when I'm in the mood I love the car, but most of the time that's not what I'm...

Hi folks, just put some carbon loraine pads on with new discs a few days ago, they are well bed in by now. Ive heard that they are noisy but you cant live with the sound of them. is there anyway you can quiet them down apart from only using them on track days????

.........this is going to be my first 'hands on' job on the T. Any idea if this is a relatively straight forward job? Out of interest, does anyone know if the calipers are slide in/out or twist in /out? Looking for the best setup for fast road use and 'occasional' track use. Many Thanks

what's everyone's suggestions as the where to buy the following... reno or others etc? Ball joints Aux belt and Kit Timing belt etc ? also powerranger - eta if i were to buy and have shipped to west yorks? #274 needs some tlc so i thought get everything done at the same time, including new...

Hi, After months of trying I have finally persuaded my Wife that a Trophy would be a great move away from her doom blue Clio Dynamique. :D I am looking for a mostly unmolested car (brake upgrade welcome!) at a reasonable price with upto average miles (48kish) with good history. Anyone...
