Should be solid discs, but have a look before you order, dead easy to tell the difference.

Didn't they change somewhere during Project Drive so they could be either, depending on the VIN. I remember seeing something about brake discs changing from vented to solid on 160s. They're not the same as 190s either I seem to recall

What discs have you got on at present ? The MG ZT V6 160 did come with both types, depends on what they had available. Noticed on a few cars that they have had solid discs, but mine started lift with vented, and also a few others should have had vented but they were replaced with solids and that caused a problem with pad wear Stu and here is my previous thread on it https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...4&postcount=16 Last edited by Fusilier; 18th January 2018 at 17:24.. |

Hi Heinkel,
I suspect you asked because you are unsure of how to tell the difference. Some folks are inexperienced in mechanical stuff or maybe not as mechanically inclined as others. Anyway, if you look through the spokes of your rear wheel at the edge of your brake rotor you will see what type you have. Here is a link where you will easily see what to look for https://motofaction.org/mechanical-1...disc-or-rotor/ . Cheers, Glenn
