Me being lazy here....

I'm lead to believe my V reg facelift 3.0 Elite Estate could have either Lucas or some other make(can't remember at the mo.) of calliper on the front.

Does anybody know for definite which type it will be or do I have to take a look? If the only way to tell is from looking, does anyone have a couple of pics so I can tell without removing a wheel?

Thanks

Steve

nope would think you would need to remove it as need to be the same as other side.

And rear calipers are wider if vented discs on the rear as well as the front??? Some body asked the other day and couldn remember for sure. :-(

Cant help with the make sorry. Dont remember much in the way of markings either tbh

Possibly, dont recall.....the only front caliper and disc setup that was different was pre 97 2.0's!

So if some factor is trying to give you the run round, tell em they dont know what they are talking about

Fairly obvious but, vented discs are wider than solid ones and hence require a larger caliper

Obvious to most .... but not to all  . We've had 2 instances of solid discs fitted into vented calipers without it being noticed till there was a fluid leak

Front calipers:

V6 and later 4 pots are lucas

earlier 4 pot: ATE

Obvious?   if you've ever laid eyes on non vented on an Omega, then yes i'm sure it would be!!!
