Yep, discs & pads are different on both versions. Different offset on the discs & pads are shaped differently

Sorry for the hijack. How can you tell if you have Bosch or Lucas braking system?

pm'd
The reason I ask is I have a horrible grinding noise when I brake. Only happens for first half mile then goes. Sounds like coming from the back, and the handbrake is 10 clicks, which makes it sound like brake adjustment or worn shoes. Don't fancy stripping only to find I have to rebuild to go get some new shoes to come back and fit them. Might as well have them ready.
