What`s the correct rear disc size to a S reg Volvo 70 r awd as I bought a kit from mtech and they sent 283mm rear discs but when the garage tried to fit them for me they were the wrong size as the ones on my car are 288mm. Mtech are saying that the v70 r didn`t come with the bigger discs fitted on the rear

According to the info here mate, AWDs have 283 mm discs on the back

Pge 14. FWD R has 295 mm

288 mm is a VAG size (Audi/Seat/etc). Are you sure the ones on your car are 288 mm? If so maybe non standard......I didn't do this while yr car was with me, AFAIK your rear discs are standard so should be 283

if its the 2000 ph3 the discs aren't made anymore (vented type), very few sets available and last set I know of was £300.

It's a phase 2, Steve

Thanks for the info guys, MTech have a set of 288mm discs on the way to me that they say will fit my model so hopefully will have it sorted soon
