Gonna tackle the brakes on this car tomorrow. It's got fairly new pads and shoes but the fluid may or may not have been changed (previous owner doesn't know) and I'm not chancing it.

Now, all my previous cars have been VW and are always straightforward to bleed/flush the brakelines. Is there anything special about Renault or can I just do one wheel at a time, starting furthest from the reservoir and working forward along the car?

Btw, gonna be using a one-man kit (the Gunson's Eezi-Bleed) which works great on the VWs.

Cheers all.

Just do one wheel at a time as usual!

its rare to know anyone that changes it.

Most of them have original fluid in them.

Ah for the sake of a tenner I'd rather flush it all out and be happy it's moisture free! Anyway, did it today with the Eezi Bleed and it went smoothly, the fluid in/near the rear wheel cylinders was very dark but quickly ran clean and bubble free. I'll use the last 1/3 of the bottle on my Suzuki GSX250 tomorrow Wink
