• Fitted 4 Pirelli's this weekend and happily it finally handles as it should. Finished off with a quick wash and dry.

    To repay me this morning it refused to start. I used the age-old method of tapping the starter motor with a hammer - seems to have fixed it for now.

    Oh and my brakes don't work, I'll take it to a Renault motorsport specialist near Stanstead next weekend, unless someone can recommend a garage closer to East London?

  • Now am teaching you to suck eggs, what is the issue? At a guess you've looked at the master cylinder, calipers/sliders any rear load compensator valve? Or just either shitty/glazed pads? Have had luck that some discs improve after being skimmed on the car, if there is enough material left on the disc, then new pads. But then I have cleaned disc with a wire brush cup, and had some luck.

  • New discs and pads all round, and it's had a recent fluid change...this is where I believe the problem has occured. These are notorious for getting air trapped in the ABS unit if someone isn't careful with the changing of fluid/bleeding and the resevoir drops below a certain level.

    I've bled it a few times now and the pedal still drops to the floor - I need to find a dirt road and trigger the abs a few times and bleed again to see if that cures the problem. People reccomend having it plugged in to the Renault Clip software which can trigger the ABS whilst stationary. So if my last attempt still bears no fruit I'll take it to a pro. Unless you have any tips?
