Thanks for the info 

europarts have agreed there on line tool was incorrect and have allowed me to buy the the  higher capacity vatara

Well done.

ECP's lookup by reg plate is usually very vague.

For our Fabia if you put the reg in and search brake discs, the suggestions include two different sizes of front disc and one of rear. The car has drums at the back, and only one size fits the front.

So more likely to be wrong than right.
