ok so i went to change my pads and discs earlier and by gum it was a horrible sight!
firstly some numpty has used different sized wheel bolts so there kind of threaded and rusty. got the wheels off in the end only to find on the front passenger side one bolt that holds the disc on is missing and the other one is rounded off and rusty. then on the drivers side the heads snapped off one meaning its got to be drilled out. the others good though, small miracle! then the caliper is rusted and the bolts have rounded off so i cant get it undone. and then the cherry on the cake is the connectors on the brakelines are almost rusted to pieces!
i haven't even looked at the back ones yet. so a quick trip to the local renault specialist and its now booked in on wednesday to get fixed. i didnt tell them about the rounded off and snapped disc screws it will be a little treat for them. lol
anyway rant over i just wanted to share my pain with fellow owners.
