A sensor is not imperative, in fact the wire tends to break more often than not. Either will fit with or without a sensor.
 
Easy. Take the front wheel off (one side probably has extra wire around caliper - wear sensing). Take a close look (and photos). Compare it to the pads available on the market. You should be able to tell the difference, even without removing old pads.
Plus, look for brand names, somewhere on the caliper or bracket, for example "Bosch".
Look at the Guides section (2 or 3 threads about brakes), compare to your car.

I have been stung in the past as a 1.3 diesel takes two different types and I bought the wrong ones first.

You are best taking old ones off and going to an auto factors locally and ask them to match it up, you might find the 1.4 pads are slightly bigger than a 1.2 pad, but looking at them on the car you just cant tell.
