Stuart, Looked at THIS (http://www.ebcbrakesdirect.com/car/parts_pad.asp?part=pad&make=FORD&model=Granada%2FScorpio&year=2%2E9+Cosworth+%2892%2D98%29)site and it looks like FPUK is better!!. ;)

Got mine from www.buypartsby.co.uk - about £81 for 4 discs and 2 sets of pads inc. delivery to my door.
Think everything was Mintex branded if I recall.
No problems, all still working fine after 12 months.

I've not used this firm, but worth a look:
http://www.ford.car-brakes.co.uk/

Odd site to navigate, but you soon get the hang of it - working much better than last time I looked.
