What Size Brake Discs?

[Sammie]

Hey Me Again!

 

When I purchased my Gal in March, there was advisory with the MOT to say brake discs and pads ALL ROUND need replacing ( :angry: OUCH)...Ive done a further 8000miles since and have another Wales trip coming up so need to change them all before I go!

 

Kwikfit want

Sammie, I have a great invention for you: :angry:

Use the chassis number not the reg as you need the manufacture date, not the registed dat. If you send me the chassis number (VIN) then I'll probably be able to tell you but even then it'll only be 80/90% accurate and in all seriousness the only sure fire way is to measure whats already on the car.

Wel the missus just measured for me and its 26mm...she measured wrong bit, she thought she was measuring the thickness of the disc lol

Its raingin now but when it stops il take wheel off and have a butchers lol

 

Thanks for the pretty picture tho :angry:

Lol, no problem. I probably should have put a few more :o :D :D 's in there to make the point that is was said in good humour :angry:

 

I went through this when I was about to change mine, 52/03 seems to be the change but you really can't tell.

Apparently the 15inch wheels have 288mm and 16inch have 300mm...well mine are 16's so technically they SHOULD be 300mm...but i will find out shortly!

 

No need for the extra :P :P :P :P 's i knew ya was jesting :angry:

Don't make that assumption!! I did and was wrong! I have a MK2 2001/2 model and it has the 280mm discs - not the 300 that everyone said it should. Do as

irez suggests and measure them.
