lol still good though 

[TheBoy]

I chose to ignore the advice here about pattern parts.  I tolerated it for about a year, including reskim and replace under warranty, before I stuck genuines back on.

I would recommend genuine every time now, based on my experience.


'Big names' such as Mintex - remember they make reasonable quality stuff, and they also make utter shite.  Guess which ones most factors and places such as egay sell

remember, the tractor is a bloody heavy car as well. Don't skimp

Too bloody right!
Did mine and Markseth's recently - around 100 quid per set each for the genuine stuff.

With the terrain 'round these parts, we don't skimp - simples!

ok can't work this out, online automotive show my motor being 286mm all round against my entered registration, to my thinking the 296mm were for those fitted with 16" wheels, but i may be wrong.

how can i confirm the exact disc size without taking the front disc off?

thanks

The very early 2.0 litre cars had smaller front discs.

Every other Omega has the bigger front discs.

Where are your getting your information? (post a link if you can).

As advised above the best thing to do is join Autobahnstormers, get the card and get trade club price for genuine parts from VX. (and they will sell you the right [296mm] parts)

Your parts man is talking out of his backside. Ask for the manager!     

[tunnie]

as above, parts guy is talking utter 'dangle berries'! 

Someone with EPC should be able to confirm part number....

[Shark1e]

just wondered if all vauxhall pad wear wires are the same fitting? just looking at some on ebay for an omega a, seneator etc, they look like mine and i have one frayed and broke one changing the pads today, also the petrol 2.0 look similar, can anyone tell me the part number for the 1999 2.5 td wear indicators please.

thanks rob

[TheBoy]

Right. Lets clear this up once and for all 

Front discs are 296mm, not 286mm
They are available on Tradeclub.


Anyone who tells you different is talking utter 'dangle berries'. Tell them so, give 'em the V, and walk away.

2 different types of brake sensor, but the one for the 296mm setup is the one listed as All Models in the TC book (if anyone can provide the part number)...


Avoid 'cheap' brakes (and I include the cheaper options offered by the likes of Mintex etc). 1.7 tonnes takes some stopping.  I have have no problem melting good quality brakes in my old chipped TD trying to get rapidly across Milton Keynes.  The MV6 does fair better, despite only being slightly lighter.

[Shark1e]

i can confirm the fronts are deff 296mm 

if anyone can supply me the part number for the brake warning sensor i would be appreciative.

thanks rob
