Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone knows if the 2.5td brake discs setup are the same all round? i mean my rear solids are 286mm so will the fronts deffo be 286mm vented? as i have been ebaying the fronts and most are saying the fronts should be 296mm not 286mm? i understand there are ate or lucas pads to choose from, but even some brake pad websites state the spring top type pads fit 296mm discs on front, but according to online automotive they say 286mm all round and front pads are the spring top for my registration.

just incase anyone needs discs and pads, i got my handbrake shoes local approx £10 and rear solid discs and set of pads from fleabay seller planet car parts in yorkshire for £38.99 inc pp and they want £53 for front discs and pads inc pp

thanks

Fronts are vented 296mm, and don`t buy pattern for the front

No reason not to, but if you have a Trade Club card, there's no reason not to buy Vauxhall's pads. There's still a choice even then, proper OEM or their Trade Club/pattern pads, but the price for their cheaper pads is around £15 vs £50 for proper OEM pads.
I'm sure Chris will tell you the details ..... over a tin of copper slip (old joke  )

I got Mintex front discs and pads from Ebay for half the TC Vx price .... never had any problems ... i feel Mintex are a big enough brand to be safe

Around £80 + VAT on TC

Pattern discs will wear very quickly on the Omega - leading to premature judder.  This is the experience of many (including myself) on OOF - false economy!!

No mate - go onto the Autobahnstormers site and you can get one for £20 - takes a couple of days to come through.  Good savings - 4 x 20 lits of GM 10w/40 semisynth oil about £34!!
