Yeh i'll make sure. You're tight to get the quality ones. It goes in for a 30k service next Friday they may have picked up on them. It's the first time  they're going to be replaced so better taking advice on them.

Not so happy struggling to get a code off the net, i'll orfer them anyway. The part number ties in with the ones on ebay. I fancy doing the front brake discs and pads. Plenty meat on the pads but the discs have quite a bit of wear.
