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??
Ashley (but everyone knows me as Ash...)

Roxanne the 88" 300tdi auto Hybrid Trayback thats broken more than its fixed
Rosie the 300 Tdi auto disco that picks the hybrid up when broken...
Daisey the trailer that sits behind Rosie and lies under Roxanne.
The sexy threesome!!!!!!

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
