I'm also on the lookout for a set of front and rear discs and pads for a Gransport. Just measured the fronts at slightly under the 30mm minimum thickness. They look pretty rough too.
What's the general consensus on best place to buy at the moment? I see Eurospares list them. Anywhere else else worth a try for an OEM set at a good price?

I have a complete used set of 3200 discs and maybe Ferodo front pads, they'll go again or maybe for a skim

I've just fitted the disks from the last group buy to my GS. They appear to be a direct match and were spectacular value for money.

If there's another group buy in the next couple of years I'm onboard as I need a spare set.

I have just replaced my front discs so have these 2 spare ones - they are a bit rusty- it is only surface as they have been sat for a while, there is a very small lip on the edge hardly noticeable except with a finger nail
If anyone’s interested I am in CR6 postcode for collection or EC2 for work

HELP! Have my disks but cannot find advice on pads. Need all four corners from anywhere but main dealer.
Must be R90 street legal but better for spirited driving.
Had several EBC both red and yellow. but. not in love with them
Anyone got source for Ferodo ,maybe. DS2500 compound?
eurocarparts have off on pagid so might get these. The compound is unspecified but will be legal at least.

Pretty sure I got mine from here.

Once id bedded them in properly, they give decent feel and bite. Though would like to still remove a little of the dead travel in the pedal, may try rebleeding the calipers. Never rated EBC

Just to be clear, DS2500 are not R90 rated, they are too good.

Ferodo R90 pads with best performance would be the DS Performance FDS998 front and FDS451 rear.

Thanks - first google wa cheaper than ECP so £71 and change https://www.diycarserviceparts.co.uk

really must label my spares collection. Found two sets of new rear pads, but both for the QP.
Have 5 pairs of disks so there must be a full set for the 3200.

Can anybody help me please Euro spares diagram 067 is the ABS hydraulic lines on 3200, there is a bracket halfway underneath the car I’m going to replace the brake lines because they are corroded but there is a third pipe running through the bracket can anybody tell me what it is?

If it is a pipe running front to rear that isn’t a brake line than it is probably a fuel line or fuel anti evaporation line. You’ll probably have to trace it to know for sure.

Thanks for the reply but the fuel lines I have two pipes and this one looks like just a single pipe running alongside the two brake lines

Yes, I think there should be flow and return fuel lines, plus an anti evaporation line.

Fuel lines:
88707

Anti evaporation line:

88708

Thanks for your help yes it’s definitely the anti-vapour line. I’ve ordered them from Euro spares not too bad price for once.

so seems my front discs are just under the 30mm mark... quite a decent lip :(
what's the score folks? is it 200 quid a side from the usual suspects or any better (read cheaper!) options?

rears only have had 20k on them so look decent thankfully - fronts don't seem to have been changed since new (80k miles ago) according to serv history folder :)
