    Thank you Renault !!

    I've just had the pleasure of replacing the brake pads on my kangoo van. I know its not VR4 related, but hey !! my car is abandoned in the pub car park......... It's new home !! :$

    changing brake pads is a relatively straight forward procedure, [ for some ] but renault have excelled themselves !!

    ONE 13mm bolt at the bottom of the caliper, remove that & the whole caliper pivots up out of the way !! the pads themselves just pull out, no springs, no clips !! they just lift out !! :-D

    the new pads just drop into the slot, no forcing or fiddling, & the piston pushes back with ease !!.

    lower the caliper back down, & bolt back up with new bolt { supplied } :-b

    once the van was up in the air & wheels off, 3 minutes.................done !!





    I'll get me coat !! :$ :$ :$
