Hi last 3 sets of genuine rear pads I bought for black beauty came with new pins and clips in box along with pads to suit solid discs cheers eric

Oh really? That a pad set, recall rear pads are dirt cheap, around £10? As I did buy some myself a year or so back, they never came with new pins though 

I suspect we're talking 'the real deal' vs Trade Club pads.  I've never had a set of pads come with pins and/or clips either, mine have all been TC

Must be, as recall little fatty mentioning pins were expensive and worth re-using unless they've really had it.

I am learning all the while. I suppose the pins are different for vented and unvented too. I did check my spare pair of rear calipers and they are the same width as the 3.2 vented caliper. I have not checked my 2 litre calipers. Is it the case that all V6 cars have ventilated rear discs and all 4 cylinder cars have solid rear discs?

[tunnie]

Vented only on 3.2, maybe 2.6? Ca't remember.

Very early 2.0, think pre 1996 had smallers front discs, but all other Omega's V6/Diesel/4pot all have same disc and pad size all around

Yes. As, you've discovered, the vented disc's calipers are wider, hence a longer pin required.

.... Is it the case that all V6 cars have ventilated rear discs and all 4 cylinder cars have solid rear discs?

No.
Vented discs are fitted to the rear of DBW V6s 

[VXL V6]

The OEM pads come with them but the Tradeclub ones don't.

recently purchased Pagid rear pads no clips or pins included.

Assuming Black beauty is your 3.2 estate I hope to God you didn't fit them

Last time I bought all the bits, they came to £20 ish pads are available from £8 up and are the same as Carlton/Senator, although the £15 for TC pads is pretty good imho

The issue with the clips is tha eventually the rivets rot out and the the clip just falls apart. Prudent to change them every 2 or 3 pad changes on condition.

if only it were that simple...

My excuse for a factors only supply Apec fitting kits, and apparently they don't make the vented kits...

[biggriffin]

My local CAS supply both types as long as you tell them.

[Webby the Bear]

ECP provide both for dirt cheap... just be sure to stress to the retarded monkey sales assistant whether you have vented or solid 

[omegapioneer]

HI no the pads and pins were for the wifes 3.0 elite black beauty, as mine is very krypton green, but thanks for the concern, Eric

Yeah, but I insist that the left pedal does something useful, hence am a tad picky on using cheap crap pads.
