Hi guys, I am going to change my wobbly front discs on my 2.3 . Its a late model and they are not vented.
Can any of you wise men tell me the size of the front discs on the 2.3, are they the 260mm or the 278mm as on the 24v. Also the finnis no of mintex pads and size needed.
Cheers guys. Ferret.

All models of the scorpio have VENTED front discs... The 24 v and the estates have vented rears
the standard saloons do not have vented rears

So sorry guys, you are right. I was under the impression that vented discs had little holes in them.....DOH!
I had a look at my discs and thet are a kind of sandwich.
Presumably that is what is ment by vented.
So can any one tell me the size that I will need for my 2.3

You need the 260 mm disks. The 278 mm are for the 24v Cosworth.
