One of the small steel brackets holding the ECU in place has cracked. Is there a fix? Its a Group N ECU which I got from GDI a few years ago, should I just have a word with them? Thanks for any help.

9/10 seem to be cracked, I've seen a small mecano type fix on one or two! Otherwise probably a new carrier, but with anti theft Torx they are unusually time consuming to change over.

Corneyman, do a search and you'll find lots of info. I had mine break, as have loads of others, and got it fixed under warranty. If you replace it sandwich the new bracket between two large washers. I think various people have put pictures up too.

Make sure you order the correct part number. Renault manged to get it wrong twice when they replaced mine!

Part number: 8200067223

Renault have a habit or ordering battery brackets...

I cannot believe that anyone can sell a car without rear pads. Surely that should activate a warning light. Very odd.

son of solo said:
discs probably shot now too...

Will the pistons actually contact with the discs then? Surely not, lots of strange noise if they do and yes probably damaged discs and more.

Woody, all that sounds like BS to me. As you are in Camberley you didn't buy the T from Mill Lane near Aldershot did you?

They replaced my ECU bracket, so if it's them that are saying they haven't done it before, it's porky pie time.

It sound like a broken bracket is a fairly minor thing compared to having no rear brakes! Think I've got off lightly.
