Pasted from the members section:
Hi all,
just spotted this
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rear-Brake-Discs-Rover-MG-MG-ZT-4-6-V8-03-05-/180481529678?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item2a0589974e
but they are obviously not right, stated as 276mm.
Thought it was too good to be true :(
Ours are 332mm
I have Emailed them to tell them
:)
Get fed up telling these people. :(:mad:

It's good that members find these mistakes and post them.
I always add a link to this site to spread the word.:D

I am fairly sure that most members are aware of the size of the rear discs.
You will never stop in-accurate postings on ebay.
So, once and for all.........
Front discs, same as ZT190...............325mm
Rear discs, unique to 260..................332mm
Pardon my blatant sarcasm, but we shouldn't be educating ebay.
We of all people should know what fits our cars.
Just my 2p

well said,
totally agree
Different abilities and knowledge Herman :)
I just find it difficult to understand that a trader should be in the know as its their bread and butter. :(

Totally agree Tim.
But if members knew about their cars we shouldn't get those ebay postings.
Click the ebay ad, see it says 272mm and move on.:)
But if the question is asked we should educate our members, rather than ebay.

I totally agree BUT there are existing members that know about their cars and there are new and future members who like me may not be as knowledgeable when they first take ownership and if we can help them avoid making expensive and time consuming mistakes then it's worth the effort.
That is why I put this (https://www.two-sixties.co.uk/mgoc260/html/f0rum/showthread.php?t=7028) together (apologies only full members will be able to see this) some time ago
Also there are 260 owners that are not members on here or not active members on here so, for them too I will contibue to try to correct the listing
Often the mistakes come from the supplier of the discs not the seller so I focus my efforts there - if I can find the manufacturer.
Just my thoughts on the matter

That is a good list. It should be made a 'sticky' and whenever we get ebay posts again people should be pointed toward this.
Mandatory reading as far as I'm concerned

Exactly what I thought just to find it is already a sticky in Technical/Consumables

Once they realise they don't make them for the 260, they might start production. And at only £100 per set.:D

Delphi have responded, they have passed my info to their catalogue team and are now aware of the gap in the market
