Well that's shot my Sunday out in the garage. Ordered my front caliper kits not realising there were different sizes. I now have two ap kits for 46mm pistons when I actually need 41mm kits. I also got the wrong mintex pads. Trying to make sure I get the correct ones ordered this time is a ball ache as the people that sell them don't give the sizes etc. can anyone tell me if there are different sizes on the rears?

I can go by the vin as I have disco axles on my 90. Measuring won't do me any good as I said above, the companies that sell then don't quote the sizes in their descriptions

Nice one. I've opened the caliper and pad kits now so they won't let me take them back grrr. I'm sure someone on here will want them though.

Out of interest jamesmartin. Do you know what part number I need for a kit with 41mm pistons?

Thanks for that. I'm not to idle to look for myself. Just struggled to find the info I needed.
