There's a ph1 xsi is a local breakers that should have 266 disks/pads?
Anything else in the pug range that will have the same? 406hdi?
Thanks in advance :-)

They did a Bosch and a Lucas caliper/carrier - two different sets of pads, discs are the same however.

Shall hope this xsi is the same
Trouble is my pad had shattered and popped out. I know its scored the disk at least half way round as I was just pulling up outside home when the pad made a bid for freedom
Reckon the caliper will be alright pushed back in?

as long as the piston aint damaged youl be fine use a big g clamp to push it back in unless you want to dislocate your thumbs! thought about upgrading you can get a 283 setup of a 307 for around £40

Re: 266 brakes - 4WayDiablo - 08-05-2012
Just want something direct fit
They are 17mm the 2 bolts for calipers?
Or 19?
Re: 266 brakes - Ruan - 08-05-2012
Thing is that the 283s aren't much better, the caliper is the same, it's only the carrier that's different and they're so much heavier...
Until you've upgraded the pads, no point in going for 283s... Unless you're stonking it round a track and repeatedly abusing the brakes, the 266s on decent pads are perfect.
You can make 266s better than 283s with better pads... The pads are everything with these.
Re: 266 brakes - Poodle - 08-05-2012
19mm if memory serves.

Abs caliper on a non and car? Get away with cutting the abs wires?
Re: 266 brakes - Ruan - 08-05-2012
They're Bosch calipers FYI...
They aren't the same as the ones you have, I'm 99% yours are Lucas calipers...
The calipers will be fine with a clean though.
Re: 266 brakes - 4WayDiablo - 08-05-2012
Yeah they're Bosch and I think k mine are Lucas but I'll be getting the whole caliper so no problem?
Will my brake lines fit these?
Re: 266 brakes - spike2002 - 08-05-2012
the abs is in the hub not caliper. if there are wires coming off the pads they are for ware indicator light that comes up on the dash : if you havent got this feature on ur car you can just cut the wires off
Re: 266 brakes - Ruan - 08-05-2012
Why do you need a new caliper?
Why can't you just put new pads and discs on?
Much easier!!!

Re: 266 brakes - Kezzieboy - 08-05-2012
My 266mm jobbies do a reasonable job of stopping me on OEM spec Mintex pads, but I reckons these would sharpen things up nicely:

I think I eventually found the right part number
Re: 266 brakes - Toms306 - 08-05-2012
Lucas 266s are on all models newer than x reg aswell (except 6) btw, both my 1.4s had 266s as standard.
