To replace the front brake pads on a Renault Clio III, start by purchasing Brembo pads on eBay with code 272825496362 for £27.45. Open the cap of the brake fluid reservoir to avoid overpressure. Lift the car and remove the wheel.

Using a flat screwdriver, compress the piston of the caliper to create space. Remove the caliper fixing screws and detach it. Slide out the old pads and clean the bracket with a wire brush.

Apply copper grease to the ends of the new pads and insert them. Refit the caliper and tighten the screws.

Reattach the reservoir cap. Pump the brake pedal to bring the pads closer to the disc and drive cautiously for the first 31 miles.

How to Activate the Disabled TRC on the Toyota Yaris?

As the video clearly shows, disabling or activating the traction control (TRC or ESP) on the Toyota Yaris is very simple. By default, the traction system activates every time the vehicle is started. To disable it, simply press the button depicting a skidding car located in the centre of the vehicle where the controls are, such as the hazard lights and the radio, but near the handbrake. Once disabled, the TRC off light will illuminate on the dashboard. To reactivate it, just press the same button again.
