Hi

I have two sets of alloys for my G Wagon - which is 2008 LHD G320CDI - one has the original Bridgestones on it, the other Vredestein winter tyres.   The wheels are 16 inch.   If I knew then what I know now, I'd have not bothered with the extra set of alloys and instead fitted vredestein quatracs...but if we knew then what we know now....

Had the winter set put on today, didn't get round to that last year so first time wheels have been off for 18 months.. and it is clear the rear discs are heavily corroded, the pads are pretty worn too.

I'd like to find out what options would suit this vehicle, the trouble is that although it is UK registered the online number plate systems blow up (tried euro car parts).      I have someone who can do any fitting required, but first I've got to get the correct kit.

I had heard there was some MB system where you can stick the VIN in and get all the information you need, but I haven't been able to find that online

The history with this vehicle is I ordered it new from MB Austria for the UK, flew out there and drove it back when it was ready, fun and games with DVLA to get it registered, has been serviced by MB but I'm not terribly pleased with them and fancy more independence and lower cost!

All help gratefully appreciated

Cheers, Mike

Hi Mike 

If you send me the vin number for your truck , I can check the spec and part numbers on my EPC (Electronic Parts Catalogue )and cross reference the brake disks against other models. 

Cheers

Howard

Euro Car Parts have both the discs (Textar) and the pads (pagiid). They are the same for all G with rear discs. The calipers are Bosch.
