See how many bolts hold your wheels on... more than likely there will be 4, as I dont think the westies came with 3-stud.

i thought when you buy pads they just ask for the engine size

thats what my garage has always done

yeah they asked for engine size, but he said they were 2 ones showing on system. Ie 3 hub and 4 hub! Prob a normal 1.4 has 3 hubs but im using the VTR set up.

Take a look in the brake pad how-to guide - Im pretty sure I listed all of the types of pads in there for the different caliper setups.

But if people don't know the car the will need more info to narrow it down.

As on a 306 i had it had a listing for 3 different ones and the only way to tell woz to see what braking system it had but some you have to take the pad ot first and match them up as you get too many choices these days.

FORD AND VAUX are a pain for that mainly smileys/smiley4.gif

Rite looked at my brake pads, the box gives u all cars ther meant for but renault ones smileys/smiley5.gif also my pads look a little bit different to ones shown in pics on the how to guide! Im hoping he got right ones, as i did state SAXO WESTCOAST lol.

Maybe the ones shown on here are VTS pads or summit and maybe the sticker saying all renault cars on the box is including them! Im hoping neway.
