Ooo very nice

Seems very good and not a bad price.  Seen calipers use in the past so this is quite close.

Got a Tdi auto, does it fit??

Yeah it fits the 200Tdi autos...
The disc is actually a smaller diameter than the stock drum item, so it doesnt hang down as much aswell, handy offroad i spose.
Oh and what the website doesnt show is that the disc actually comes with a little rock slider so things dont hit the disc and bend it!

The little rock slider almost does it for me :D I think I may be having one of those 'can I have' converstaions with SWMBO soon :wink:

Out of interest, what does it weigh?

Its not very heavy at all, not something i really noticed, but i think it was lighter than the drum brake!

Hee hee, the little rock slider made me smile!  :D

Just say you NEED one
