I have the same vehicle, purchased Mintex Discs and pads(and hand brake shoes) direct from Ebay £65 front, £47 Rear .There are cheaper and some a lot more expensive but these have always been Ok for me......no problems in 2 years. Simple job to do

Just a quickie, in case you do not know "Europarts" are the same company as "carparts4less" !!!

The sites are identical, parts lay out the same, but the prices at "carparts4less" are ALWAYS lower!!

As a simple check,input part number NOR2893880 to both sites,they display identically, but the price at carparts4less is less. As its a small item the price difference is just over a £1 cheaper, but try in putting a rover 75 exhaust system and see the difference!

The last time I dealt with carparts4less,I asked the sales team if they had many calls as Europarts,his answer, with a laugh was,"We get a few"!!!

Any savings are better than none.....also check out discount codes on line!
