    Gearbox woes, what did you do with yours?

    Happened to my 197 last year. Crunch going into 4th. Only cure is new box or fix the syncro. Had a warranty like you when got the car and had to pay £400 but the bill was over a grand so not too bad. The gearboxes are crap in these cars and I believe they are same box as used in all clios so...

    What rear brake set up do i need? how much?

    Actually just looked at the advert again now and yes they are indeed different pads. Told the guy after I bought them that they're for a Clio 197 so guess he sent me the correct ones.

    What rear brake set up do i need? how much?

    Really... I have them fitted on my Clio as we speak! The company sent the wrong disc, well the wrong bearing but replaced it. The pads looked identical to the ones I took off and as I said they are on my car now. I thought the megane 225 ran the same pads as the Clio 197?

    Bermbo paint.

    Have the cup pack on my Clio so means red Brembo calipers. Have just got new front pads and retaining pins which I'll change next week but having a closer look at the calipers I've noticed whoever changed them before me has chipped the caliper paint around the pins quite badly and in other...

    Rear discs

    Got the discs off ebay with abs and bearing already fitted and pads for £210. Proper genuine Renault/Brembo parts. The guy who I got them off was really helpful when I contacted him saying he sent the wrong parts. They took about 5 days to arrive. Here's the link -...

    Rear discs

    Been in contact with the guy and he sent the wrong ones. Sent discs from an earlier megane 225. The rear disc change is quite an easy job but one thing I found a bit annoying is where to support the caliper after removing from the hub. Also the two 18mm bolts where a nightmare to get off!

    Rear discs

    My shiny new rear discs and pads arrived yesterday and went to fit them now and they don't fit! Got them on ebay but they were advertised for a Megane 225, so e-mailed the seller asking if they would fit my clio 197 to which he said yes they would. They are the same size but do not fit over...

    Any ideas...?

    No pic sorry but I think it's the vacuum hose as Tree200 says. Would it cause anything if this was disconnected for a few days...?

    Any ideas...?

    Hey guys. Wonder if anyone can help. Story goes about 2 weeks ago had my gearbox rebuilt and all was well, then yesterday had the centre silencer box of my Milltek exhaust replaced as was rattling internally. Drove it yesterday and was fine and for about 2 hours this morning, again all was...

    Rear brake disc change.

    Finally found rear discs and pads for a good price (£180) so will be changing soon. Owned the car for 6 months now and they needed doing when I got it so it's time! This has probably been covered loads of times but anything to look out for when changing? Any special tools needed? Replaced disc...
