Have a look at the condition of what you already have before you order them. The pin will be OK, it's just the spring that might be broken or ready to break, and you could manage without it till you then order it.

Do you have to have vented discs?

If not then non vented at price AndyC quoted and springs/pins set for £6 at eurocarparts

If you already have vented discs then YES you do. Solid discs would physically fit in vented discs calipers, but the vented discs calipers are wider to allow thicker vented discs. All would initially appear OK until the pads wear down a bit, then the rear(?) piston would pop out of the caliper leaking brake fluid all over the place while giving you the feeling of WTF is my brake pedal resting on the carpet? 
Replace vented discs with vented discs unless  you want to replace the caliper too!

That makes perfect sense. Thanks Andy  and vented is referring to the vents all the way around the top of the disc i trust (stupid Q but worth checking  )

So if the pads are exactly the same and the only difference is the longer pins..... surely the OP could buy the £15 pads and seperately buy the longer pins and new springs from eurocarparts as i remember the guy on the phone said he had both in stock.

Yes. A vented disc is as though you had two slim discs 'stuck' together with a vent in between ie there's a gap between them.
