The disc should be 273mm on a V6 and 253mm on all the others or am I reading this the wrong way ???

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. :-/
