Hi Nigel, I think it could be Sierra, so here is a link.

Can't open link here at work but just make sure they are 2.0 litre Sierra not the 1.3 or 1.6.


(1.6 might be ok but 2.0 to be sure )

agree with Philpott above - they are all the same diameter, but the bigger engine models shoes are deeper (front to back) so you need Sierra 2.0 or 2.3D, maybe 1.8, definitely not 1.6.

I bought some of these, exactly as described above and they are too small !

What did I do wrong ?

[phillpot]

Despite what it says I would hazard a guess they are Mintex 162 for a 1.3 Sierra ?

I fitted my S3 with a set of EBC6324 from Brakes4u.co.uk. Excellent performance. A little expensive at £34 a set including post.
But I think it was worth it.

That's great ! Anyone got any friends with a 1.3 Sierra, who could accept some free brake shoes ?
