Hi please can some one help me solve this puzzle
I have here a punto 1.2 selecta (auto) 1997 single-point injection single cam.
I just bought new discs and pads I fitted one hew disc, then went to fit the pads that I had left in the box to keep clean, when I took the pads out I noticed that they were totally different to the ones I just took out, mine are square the new ones are almost oval mine had a spring thing on top but new were just metal no spring obviously wrong pads. I thought I had better check the discs were the right ones lucky I did because the new discs were smaller than mine new were 240.0mm mine 257.0mm.
I checked the Haynes manual and it says I should have the small ones, but the large ones were on there. Haynes says petrol-single point injection and non-turbo diesels have 240.0mm and petrol multi-point injection and turbo diesels have 257.0mm. Have Haynes got it wrong and the selecta should have bigger discs or have my brakes been upgraded. I am confused because if Haynes has got it wrong then the parts book in the shop is also wrong.

Also I have the callipers with the bolt not the pin.
Also I don't think ive got ABS how do I tell?

To see if you've got abs, you should get a little warning light on when you start up. Failing that, drive down a road, make sure there's no-one behind, and stand on the brakes as hard as you can.

Thanks for the reply. no light on dash for brakes except the one that comes on with the hand brake. So don't look like its got ABS.
I don't know why I have the bigger disks! but I took them back with the pads and swopped them for the same as I removed, they seem ok need bedding in but have no noise or smells.

Bigger disks are a compensation for lack of engine braking in an auto - in the auto Panda you even get a servo, as well as bigger diameter disks[:0]

Thanks john. pitty no one told haynes this, or the people who write the parts book in the shop I use.
