Long time lurker, 1st post to say Hi.

Unread post by Byngo9 »

Joined a while back and been lurking. I've owned a 2014 C4 Picasso for a while. Always been quite a keen DIY mechanic but as I get older, I find it harder and harder to get the jacks and tool chest out. In my younger days I've changed Cambelts, clutches and rear axles. The most challenging was probably the front brake pads ( of all things) on a Alfa Romeo Sud because the discs are in-board. 😂

Welcome
In board discs are not the greatest of ideas/easiest to work on, for sure!

Oddly enough I found replacing the pads on the GS inboard discs was exceptionally easy. Not the handbrake pads though, which were separate. Nightmare!
