Need to change my rear pads but car has had a disc conversion before I got it so am I correct in thinking these are pads from a mk2. Cheers

Sizes of pads on here and also at euro car parts or even take the pads in with you just to be 100% sure.

mk2/3/4 are same shape on the pads but some are thicker than others so watch out for that

as for piston clockwise to wind back in, anti to unwind same as a normal screw :)

you're missing the dust boots so you'll want to fit some plus may as well do piston seals while apart. ignore me if that was just pic for reference ;)

Thanks mate. I had taken all boots off for cleaning when I took the picture. If the pads were too thick would they just not fit in cos the ones I got were a tight fit to push the caliper back on?  :o
