Default 2.0 litre V6 disc size?

Does anyone know which size front discs are on my 1999 2.0 V6 petrol. 282/4 or 325mm? Mine are vented discs. I'm guessing 282/4?
UPDATE. Previous posts state 284mm.

RAVE states 284mm for all Rover models Mike. Ventilated front discs were standard.

What you're missing Stefan is that Rimmer's has got it wrong!
For example, as you say they quote Brembo discs as 282 mm diameter. If you go to the Brembo site and search its catalogue, the discs are listed as 284 mm which corresponds with RAVE.

Maybe you could enlighten Rimmer's?

Default Brake Discs

This might help, as it shows the size for fronts, and also both types for rears

Can confirm that they're 284/285mm on all models apart from ZT190, R75 V8 and ZT260 - and we have plenty here
