My 2.0 saloon has solid discs and I believe that is the standard for the whole Scorp range. You can probably use the vented discs though, as long as the physical dimensions are identical

To fit vented discs in place of solid discs I think you will also need to change the rear calipers.

All estates should be vented, saloons apart from the 2.9 have solid rears, not sure for the TD though

Nope, the vented discs are thicker than the solid ones, the rear 2.0/2.3 calipers will only work with solid discs.
