Ivor_E_Tower Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 Been done before; you will need device to rotate pistons when pads are retracted, bleed via nipples so as not to push old fluid back into ABS unit.Also check the diameter of the discs first, as there have been 2 different sizes of discs/callipers fitted to "early" facelifted models (X and Y plates). More info is on the forum; try the search function. Quote
Masked Marauder Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 It is very simple to do, perhaps one of the simplest jobs on a car. Check out German Swedish & French http://www.gsfcarparts.com/ for the parts. Special tools wise you will need a brake hose clamp and brake wind-back tool, and perhaps an impact driver. Quote

Masked Marauder Posted June 2, 2005 Report Posted June 2, 2005 Still most likely 288, but you really need to check with a motor factors. Quote

Guest BIGLOX Posted June 4, 2005 Report Posted June 4, 2005 You should try Fordpartsuk.com You can fill in an online order and they will get back to you with a price. They will also check from your VIN number that they are supplying the correct discs etc. I did my x reg (Nov 2000) facelifted Galaxy 1.9 115 tdi front discs and pads a couple of months ago.
