All V6s and facelifts have the same front discs (296mm dia)

Wouldn't want to fit second hand ones though  :-?

As said don't put scrap ones on :o
I bought the dics as cheap as I could and 10 months on regretted it, buy good quality, mine after 6 months being replaced were on the MOT as advisory 'front brake discs worn' going to have to replace them again.  :(

but any discs i would buy new here in romania don't even compare to the quality i would get from one omega at scrap yard. in 2-3 months they get wear like they would have been driven for 2 years.

Sorry mate, didn't realise you were in Romania, and I'm quoting you VX Trade Club prices!

If you want though, I can give you the number of my local VX dealer.  You call up and pay for them and I'll post them to you.  Would need to check first what the postage would cost you though.

Just did a quick check and they would cost around £35 to post from UK to Romania (DHL WPS).

Ah that's interesting, Vx have maintained that excellent deal then, with them going up by just £5 on what I paid in 2009 8-) 8-)

As other have sensibly stated, ALWAYS forget second hand brake parts - at the above price why risk you and others, let alone your car, for the sake of a few quid? ::) ::)

Good point, I always associate him with ABS and forget that he lurks here abouts too.
