Re: brake pads
Try a few local motor factors just don't bother with the renault dealerships as always over priced.
Brakes are easy enough do yourself, search for threads on here am sure there's a few. Also the best thing you can invest in if you plan on doing any work on a car yourself is a Haynes manual.

Re: brake pads
I forgot to say, after having other named pads and having them rattle I would suggest to get oem pads, just to avoid the annoying rattle!! Drove me insane!

I use Pagid brake pads. These with a generous load of copper grease on the rear for the piston/housing mating faces and have no probs with rattle/squeal.
Also get a wire brush on every surface that holds the pad in situ and the piston face. Be careful not to damage the piston seal so its best cleaning this before you fully retract it to fit new pads. All this just helps to make sure that the pads are seated as good as possible and wont bind and return properly when you release the brake pedal.
Hope this helps
