What size front brake discs/pads needed for Vauxhall Corsa?

Jul 11, 2011 by Stacey Killen | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I need to buy new front brake pads for my vauxhall corsa 07 1.3cdti. I need to know what size the brake discs are 257mm or 284mm to be able to know which brake pads to purchase. Can anyone help please?
I have already been to the local car spares

The easiest way is to take the wheel off and measure it. 10 minutes tops.
