I've been told that the rear brake bias compensation thingy has seized and looking at the rear disks and pads I might as well have them changed at the same time.

As I don't have any plans to track the car or increase bhp I was thinking of just getting a local garage to fit standard replacement parts. But....


...I was thinking that I might be able to get some discs and pads off the internet that would perform better and get the garage to fit them for the same price overall. What do you think?

I thought I was over my modding days! Love

Discs and pads are very cheap from BuyPartsBy or similar. Not sure how keen the garage will be on you supplying parts though.

get under the car with a can of wd40 and a hammer and free the valve up, that will then get the rear brakes working, drive it for a bit and see how the discs clean up. Rear pads usually look low when you have a look without taking the wheel off. If you do need to change them just buy stangard ones from German and swedish or buypartsby.

Can someone please confirm the part numbers of standard rear discs and pads for the Rallye.

I'm guessing pads are MDB2868 and discs are SG2800 (from BPB ).

Cheers in advance.

Phoned BPB as had ordered two sets of rear pads in error; immediate refund made as order hadn't yet been despatched, top service that, highly recommend them, prices are great too.
