Brakes - J4M13UK - 27:th-Jan-2017

Hey guys,

My Astra has had a service at Vauxhall today and I they have told me I need new discs on the front and pads all around.

I am not paying the £380 to do that so I am trying to find some front discs and pads on all 4 corners.

Pads are straight forward but when looking for Discs it asks the wheel size.  I have 18" as standard but that's not an option on sites like euro car parts.

Do I just get the 17" variant?

I can change the pads and discs myself. just need to know which ones to buy. Any links would be appreciated.

its a 2011, 2.0 cdti SRI.

thanks in advanced.

I have bought my discs and pads, Now another question with fitting them, Is it a case of move the calliper housing out the way then the calliper bracket. Remove the hex screw and give the disc some gentle persuasion to come off?

Yes mate there is a how-to for pads which will get you halfway through

yeah I have seen the pads one, they straight forward, it was how to remove the disc but I think it the same as the Astra H so will be fine.
