Just go with any premium pad, I got mine for the c70 T5 from GSf, were £30 and work really well!
They are all the same size unless you have the 320mm disk and the bigger caliper but I think that was an upgrade not fitted as standard!

the above info is correct.

they are the same size psds for 286/305mm discs which are the most common sizes.

then you have the optional 316mm or 320mm which not many cars have at this age and also ex police spec cars do require special pads with sensor .

we have a wide selcection available :

Have a look at this pic...

just below the drop link connection on the shock, in the background, there's a small black cable - tie, pointing at the track rod. That's the cable tie that holds the pad sensor socket up and out of the way, while it's not being used

Shouldn't this be in your irratic boost thread?
not that I'm bothered, lol,
If it was me, I'd get myself a full set of jubilee clips and have all the hoses off, renew the vac hoses, clean everything, use a camera phone to have a look in places I can't see then put it all back together and see what happens. I really recon you have a leak somewhere.
