Ah yes, just done a quick search on brake rotors and it brings up descriptions of Disks in Uncle Sam....
So you only need to change the actual disk then......?

Quote: was fortunate that I was able to pick up the Brembos and rotors off eBay for a total of £200. The only missing items were the larger back-plates, which I bought from JE Engineering (everything is original LR items).
mmm anyone get on GTR & see if the back plates are the same or if he just needed a bigger back plate for the brembo calipers he fitted? Bodsys Brake Bible

Don't use Hammerite, use fire resistant black paint you get for fireplaces.  Bodsys Brake Bible

Just noticed something wierd ...
The rear disks are larger than the front on a TDV6 (and on the V 8)
TDV6 front 317 mm
TDV6 rear 325mm
V8 front 337mm
V8 rear 350mm
Suppose its to do with all the weight ? G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Because you typed 8 ) with no space which is the text the forum interprets as 8)
Apparently Mossy has paid vast amounts to Martin for this subtle trick
