£88.38 and according to the box made in Germany.
They seem quite substantial.

I have just noticed that the box for the pads states Omega 94-01. :-\
Mine is 2003. Did they change the pads in 2001?
Pads also fit Lotus Carlton 89-92.......apparently. :y

My MV6 has vented rear discs, Henry. I had to reuse the old pins because the ones they supplied were too short (for solid discs)

Just fitted Pagid to the wife's pug 206. I always use Pagid.... good quality and very good price :y

Without TC my local dealer wanted close to double what for genuine Vauxhall parts.

I can't argue with that, Mr Bear. :y
Rear discs and pads are far less expensive than the fronts though. ;)

They certainly look nice and shiny! :y

The discs are extremely heavy compared the the Corsa items. ;)
What are the 2 small bolts in the plastic bag for?

They fit into the countersunk holes that secure the disc to the hub :y

Secure is a bit grand, they hold the disk in place when the wheels are removed. They should only be finger tight (4Nm sounds familiar)

Well , usually some monkey has rounded them off >:(

Yup , drilled a fair rew out :( New ones in with a blob of copperlip :y

Had to drill hers out too. And re tap the holes that the calliper bracket secured to as some idiot had got them I at an angle

There should be 2xm8x15 for the calipers aswell. (13mm spanner size)

Riveted shims. Painted discs. Look ok :y

I don't think so, Mr Emd.
The bolts I have don't look like they will fit a countersunk hole.

This is what I have. :y
There doesn't appear to be the countersunk screws that hold the discs.

There won't be... :y bolts relate to the pad fitting kit. There are only two as you only need to remove one bolt to change the pads.

I recon you have the white gloves , so there's a start.
-
If I break the brake pad wear sensor, or, if it has already been snapped off by a previous mechanic/neanderthal.........do I need to replace it?
I'm really not bothered unless it is essential. :y
-
Cable tie it to the ABS wiring :-X

No. Chop the white end off, bare back the two wire ends & twist them both together. Wrap up in insulation tape and then cable tie to the ABS wiring ::) ;) ;)

i would hope he was equally scathing of tying it to the ABS sensor too ::) ............
I'd buy a new sensor (there's only one on Dr O's car anyway! - the tight bugger ;) ;) )

I think Emd is referring to my comments on Webby's ABS sensor wiring repair, entombed with insulation tape ;D

I could incriminate myself if I said I repaired SWMBO's Hyundai's ABS sensor the same way.
.......... I'd dig an even bigger hole if I said I'd used a long bar on the crank pulley bolt to undo the bolt but got the direction arse about face when I kicked the engine over on the starter ..... hence the need to repair the ABS sensor wire. ::) ::) ::)

With money too tight to mention a new sensor may be a step too far. ;D ;D
If I had the money that has Mr B....eanz has then I would buy a dozen of the little blighters. :D
-
Havn't you fitted them yet? ::) ;D

I know that feeling... mine financially costs as much to fuel as the Omega and is less comfortable (for me) :-\
Note to self: next Merc I get must have Orthopaedic front seats, even if it's the only option fitted :-X
Back on topic, haven't you fitted them yet... ::)

Yeah twist the wires together. And use heatshrink to keep the moisture out
-
One needs to remember,our lord Opti needs to interview the lowest bidder,when the job is put out to tender :D

Lol wtf are you morons on about ;D
My soldering was actually fekkin spot on and, yeah, I didn't use heat shrink cos i didn't have any. I however taped EACH wire. THEN taped over both wires too. In the real world that repair wil be fine.
If the light comes back on then I'll admit you guys are right and I'm a prat and re solder it and use shrink tube.
But for now.... :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

Although not originally from Yorkshire or Scotland I like to hear the sound of metal on metal before I change anything. ;) ;D

If the discs were in good condition I would tend to agree.
As they are fooked, but still working well, I want to get the most from them.
Besides.......It's wet and cold outside. ::) ::)
