Vauxhall should know from your registration number, i would think you have the early odd size discs and pads.

The red book has a separate part number for '2.0 to '97' so that's probably you.   Most likely the smaller disks but I can't recall if its Lucas or ATE calipers.

Discs are almost certainly the smaller ones (sorry don't know off hand but a search on here would probably throw it up).  I think I recall that the calipers/pads could be either.   They are quite distinctive though.  One type (as was on my 2.0 '94) have funny shaped ears/lugs on each side - easy to recognise - whip a front wheel off (or look through it) and you'll know.
