Rear brake caliper MG ZTT 2003

Hello

As a resident of Sweden, it can sometimes only take a little time to get parts for my car.

Last time I needed to replace the rear right caliper, I bought one of the RimmerBros (SOB000040) which would be for ventilated discs.

Judge by my surprise when it turned out that the brake caliper only had a 36mm piston and had no room for the brake disc. And the mechanic who has serviced the car since new saw it was wrong.

When I contacted them they stated that with reference to my Vin SARRJLTFT3D290086, I would have solid discs and the brake caliper was right for my car.

The brake caliper that sits on is the original and the disc is 19mm and the one I got has only space for half that size ..

Someone here who has happened to the same thing - they don't seem to be so keen to admit that I got the wrong caliper but mean that the fault is on my car ??

What brake discs should I have and the associated caliper?

As your car is a 190, it should have the vented discs. Your car is correct. They have made a mistake. Tell them your car is a 190 V6 2.5.

Here is one, which I have had for the front, and was identical including marking as original.
