Do I have all the parts required to change the discs and pads on a 53 plate Corsa?

I have absolutely no idea if it's a Corsa A...B...C..............X..Y...Z..

I note there are no pins or shims...........and the pads are not identical.

Should have (if my memory serves me right)

Don't forget to clean the discs with brake cleaner (or another solvent) to remove any oil traces from the packing

Thanks, LD. I recently changed the rear pads on the MV6.........and I had to reuse the pins. Looks like there are no retaining pins on the front brakes.

no pins needed,just undo 1 bolt on caliper and lift up

There are no pins on the front of your Omega either 
If a Corsa is anything like its bigger brother (ie Astra) there's an anti rattle clip that goes over the top of the caliper & pads.

Sounds easy enough.......even for a novice mechanic such as myself.

This little lot set me back £65......(sadly no TC)

GM should include the copperslip for that money. Tight bastards.
