Diesel calipers

Do any cars have trailing calipers? Eurocar parts have both leading and trailing listed. Caused some confusion when the wrong part arrived.

Some cars do and some cars don't. To get the info you require you need to name the car.---

Trailing calipers are normally only fitted to RWD cars.

The V8 has them at the front in this configuration.

Sorry. Badly worded. Do any 75's or zt's was the question. Ive ordered the correct one but they also list a trailing one against my number plate and therefore a ztt diesel. I remember my 406 having 2 break manufacturers used at same time so you had to know which it was.

My R75 diesel has leading calipers on the front wheels and trailing calipers on the rear wheels.

Mine too. Thought they were all like that. Just seems weird to have 2 types listed.
