replacement rubber boots for brake calipers

Do you mean the dust seals on the pistons? Might be worth seeing if Renault do a caliper service kit. More likly if you find out the manufacture of the caliper and model your local motor factor will order you in a kit.

Its the 4 little boots that fit one on the end of each sliding caliper - keeping lubrication in and dirt etc out. I haven't tried Renault for a long time, but I seem to recall finding they weren't available on their own. I may try asking a factor if a kit is available (Bendix). The car has 4 on one side that do not fit (too slack). I wonder if they came from someone using the wrong kit.

all brake rubber components should be renewed every x years according to the service schedules. you will probably have to go to a main agent (take a large amount of money)

WRONG ANSWER!

I want to be told of a neat efficient website where I can enter the model of car etc and my visa details and get the parts in the post for a few quid the next day.

sorry, just telling it like it is.

I think this months Practical classics magazine has a brake part "swap" part showing which model of cars used the same brake parts. Might be worth a look. I can't find my copy which probably means the wife has thrown it out before I finished reading it!

You should get these parts in a kit (I did when I got a kit for the sliding calipers on my car). Is there a renault 5 owners club out there?

Never used them myself but looks like they know what they are about.

Chris H will know the answer, there are also quite a few Renault 5 owners there as well.
