the fmd discs arrived and they did not fit either they were 151mm like the last disc !!
our hubs are 160mm so they wont fit on our hub

Try EBC on the internet. They are a well known 'brake' company.

£88 for rear fords disks and a set of pads from http://www.fordpartsuk.com/ simple job to do yourself if you can!
New pads should be fitted with the disks even if the old ones are new!

 Dave's right ... and it really is a simple job if you've got the right bits. Allow 30-45 mins per wheel depending on your experience. Probably the "hardest" part is getting the piston back far enough to insert pads - for the front calipers use the top of a hammer handle (or similar) and just PUSH

Remember when fitting rear pads the little raised pimple on the pad backing plate is there for a reason, fit it so the pimple fits into the indents on the piston or you'll get imperfect wear on the pads and, more seriously, on the discs.
