Default brake discs on classic uk turbo

just had MOT ,,passed but have been told that next time it will probably fail on ALL 4 discs.
after ringing around for prices,which vary massively,i have asked the same questions and no-one seems to know...so here goes..

are they vented or solid ? ? ?

i'm pretty sure the fronts are vented
but what are the rears ?

thanks in advance.

We can't help you unless you tell us what model year of car you have Dazza. Some have vented rears, some have solid. At least three different types of brake used on the front as well.

FWIW the most cost-effective replacements are likely to be found at www.sapmotorparts.com. The discs they sell are made by Quinton Hazell and are of extremely good quality - you won't find better.

up to 98 they should be solid , 99 onwards are vented , all the fronts are vented , the rears you should be able to tell be looking through the wheels

Yep. 294mm vented on the front, 277mm vented on the back. SAP stock both. It's a 2000 model year car, BTW.
