Thanks Pete for the information. Incredible the variation in the discs available.

Think I may have answered my own query. 270mm discs don't appear to have been fitted to PR code 1KF though it is a mystery why so much of the brake pad is redundant.

PpMajor work was head refurbishment with valves and head gasket, new clutch and flywheel, it does eat driveshafts/boots but it does a fair bit of rough track driving other than that usual servicing and cam belt changes.. I've done about 170,,000 of it's total. It's a real workhorse .

2008 2.0TDI in black currently on 325,000 miles and still going strong

I'm looking to replace the rear brake discs on a 20.TDI Octavia Scout. Unfortunately there seems to be a myriad of disc sizes that are fitted to the vehicles PR Code. The old discs are 260mm but looking at the brake pad wear the top 10mm of the pad does not contact the disc.. Pad trype fitted: Given this scenario should it be fitted with 272mm discs? Any ideas?

Brilliant. Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. SJS

Well took a fly lead from a 12v supply in the fuse box to the fuses 1-5 input and the dash light up and was able to start the car. There were 2 warning lights that remained on the dash - ESP/Traction control & Electromechanical steering. Unfortunately this method seems to render the diagnostic port inoperable (showed connection light without 12v fly lead but no connection) - Feeling a bit better the car actually starts now just need to track down why there is a lack of power to the fuses.

Hi Pete, Sent you Vin in a PM - No power with key on to fuses 1-5 Regards Stuart

No voltage indicated with the key 'on' or start position. SJS

Checked the voltages for the 2 fuses the engine bay fuse indicates battery voltage whereas the cabin fuse shows no voltage. Any ideas? Any thoughts would be appreciated. SJS

Hi, Thanks for your reply. I have checked the continuity for both and both are functioning. SJS

I'm hoping the collective brains of this forum can help with a problem. My Scout started to pressurise the cooling system so either head gasket or EGR cooler issue. As the car has over 300k miles decided the best option was to replace the engine (like for like (BMM for BMM) Managed to find an engine with lower mileage for a reasonable price and swapped them over (reading as much as I could that ECU would be okay with a like for like swap.) All went well given trying to shoehorn a quart into a pint pot! Started the car and ran smoothly for about 10 minutes then stopped - no lights on dash, no cranking,, no communication with diagnostics (Engine, ABS or any other module)! Lights work, Radio works, Windows work, Locks & Unlocks with key buttons. The battery is quite new and fully charged. Fuses by battery & inside car checked - all fine. Has anyone got any idea what the cause is and where I go from here? Any help appreciated SJS
