the brake pedal on my 1999 clio (apologies :sad has gotten totally soft and i just noticed brake fluid leaking from the rear drum, any ideas on what has happened and more importantly how to fix it please?

Cheers valdas, expensive job or a diy? , car is only worth 7 euro and 20 cents

Time for something with a bit more oomphh you know you want too

[nigzcurran]

I can barely handle the 58 horses in this one gar! Just had a goo on micksgarage and the cylinder is only 12 quid, looks like a handy enough diy as long as I can crack open the hub without needing fancy tools or strong arms

Says here in the bentley to Just raise it over your head and hop it off the ground

leave my poor little clio alone ye big bully

[nigzcurran]

Cylinder sorted (cheers valdas) and after havin a stressful bit of brake bleeding the Clio is back blazing across the streets of dublin

You could have sorted that out a lot cheaper. 5 litres of petrol @ 1.62/ litre, 1 box of matches @ 30 cents.


Sorry..... Couldnt resist!

I was actually planning on starting a clio thread to rival your m3 one, was thinking of a massive set of 15" steel rims with multi spoke hub caps to be the first big mod
