re. Japanese Opel (Japel?) the world car story sounds about right. Certainly the Japel had nothing to do with the real Opel. re. disk brake squeal: Try using some emery cloth on the disks. Work in small circle, and try to take off the pattern left by the old pads. I have never tried this, but I am assured that it works great on motorcycles (where it is really easy to do because of the exposed disks). re. Renault 5 (Le Car) Brakes: Anyone know how to get the rear drums off to check for wear? Actually I have an R5 L (not available in U.S.) that has drums on all 4. thanks ralph hill
