question for you Renault boys:
I replaced the slave cylinders recently and the brakes were adjusted. Since then I’ve had problems with the brakes binding. I backed them off at the adjuster, but then the brakes were crap. there is also a grinding noise from time to time, so me thinks there may be an issue with the pads.
Are these brakes ok to open up and see the pads? looking at the paint on the brake unit it looks like it might not have been opened before. I see they are oil immersed, so wondered how much oil will come out of the drain plug, the back end of the Renault holds over 50 litres, so want to be prepared for how much oil might come out!
she has done 8000 ish hours.
thanks, Moog
