hi there
make sure it for a saloon or estate. the estate ones are vented on the rear brakes.

Hi
You should also check your local motor factors. I feel certain that I remember reading another members experience here which was to the effect that it was possible to source the part through independent motor factors and that it was also considerably cheaper than the Ford Main Dealer supplied part.
Regards

Thanks guys,
Scorpio_man-Thanks for that. I would never have thought the calipers would be different between vented and solid discs, but then again this is Ford we're talking about lol 
Paul-funny you should give that link as I went through all his items with a fine tooth comb and found a pair for £25! I picked them up earlier and now they're sat here waiting for a little TLC.
2tired-when I spoke to Ford earlier the guy at the parts desk actually advised me to try other motor factors as he believes someone does have pattern repair kits for the Scorpio calipers. Good to know!?!
Now I've gotta find the best way of replacing them
