Brake Pad Confusion

Depends if your looking for front or rears.

The fronts are the same across the board
But the rears do change

yeh there the same mate....rear pads changed in 06

Late 04-05 they changed, as mine is a 2005 and got the later brake pads fitted

They did change in 04 for the rears only.

You need to check the calipers and do a visual of the type of pad.
Early pads upto 04 had an oval location in the caliper.
Later pads after 04 had a square location in the caliper,with an additional spring slider/locator in the caliper.
You are best checking visually which you have,because even tho they did change the caliper type,you could have either with your car being a 54 reg.

These are the pads for 2004 onwards THESE

These are the pads for 2001 to 2004 THESE

ok im going to give you a piece of foolproof advice .take out the rear set of pads and block the caliper cylinder with a piece of timber or other similar material so it cant come out too far .then if your doing the front pads aswell do the same there. Now you have both sets of pads out in your hands bring them with you to a good motor factors or preferably to a ford main dealer and ask for a set matching each .bring home and refit new ones as reverse of taking old ones ,s

Thanks for the posts guys, looking at them i'm still not sure what type they are so i've taken some pics hoping you can tell me.
