2004 Rover 45 Rear Discs

Post by awcope »

Hi,

My 2004 45 has just passed its MOT but there is an advisory that one rear disc may need replacement. The Haynes Manual states the Rover 45 had 239mm rear discs whereas the MG ZS had 260mm. I am aware that the 2004 Facelift 45 models had some standardisation with the MG ZS to improve handling etc - did this extend to upgrading the brakes to the bigger MG ZS brakes?

I do not want to order the incorrect size discs!

Thanks

Tony

All Rover 45s with rear discs had the 239mm ones.

The 260mm discs were only fitted to the KV6 engined ZS 180.

The facelift only really extended to bodywork and trim - mechanically there was very little that changed.
