Replacing Brake Pads

Model: Renault Laguna X74, Laguna 2, MK 2 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Brake rotors

When the brakes wear down, the oil level in the reservoir drops as the caliper pistons are nearly at their limit. To replace the pads and discs, lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands and remove the wheel. Then, unscrew the caliper mounting bolts, disengage the retaining spring of the pads and remove them. To retract the caliper piston, rotate it: it is advisable to perform this operation with the appropriate tool that allows for uniform movement of the piston. Once the piston is retracted, fit the new pads and the corresponding spring; reposition the caliper and tighten the mounting bolts.

How to Dismantle the Heating Radiator on a Mini Cooper

Let’s see how to dismantle the heating radiator on a Mini Cooper. First, remove the plastic cover of the centre tunnel (located under the centre tunnel on the left). Unscrew the securing screws with a screwdriver, and remove the black plastic cover that hides the heating radiator. Once all the described operations are completed, move to the engine bay: remove the plastic engine cover and disconnect the two hoses (unscrew the securing clips if present) of the radiator that goes into the cabin, allowing the fluid to drain. Disconnect the radiator from the pipes inside the cabin. Work in reverse for all the assembly steps.
