I need to replace the front discs on my Coupe. The car is on a P plate with the bubble shape dash. This makes it a post 1996 car.
Now here is the confusion, Rover tell me that there are two possible discs for the car, pre 96 or post 96. (They say that this car was not part of the same engineering program as the bubble shape 200! FFS!) The difference is the height of the disc. ie the distance from the back of the disc to the front of the hub. Pre 96 this is 47mm, post 96 this is 45mm. All other dimensions are the same.
Two questions, which disc should be fitted? What are the consequences of fitting the wrong one?
I suppose the third question would be why can't Rover tell me this? FWIW I have no faith in my local Rover-MG spares department after the last parts scenario left an oil slick of impressive proportions on the road behind the same car.
