Surprising (or maybe not, due to parts OEM parts suppliers making parts as ‘stock’ as possible?). I treated our Ford Ka+ (5-door Ka made in India) to new discs/pads last year. Most of the parts on the car are ex-Fiesta, so when I enquired about replacement parts I was shocked to find Ka+ Pads at £150 a pair, discs similar price (even unknown brands from factors). Some online digging around found the parts were indeed the same dimensions as the fiesta ones, and Ferodo discs/pads at £68 total were used. I suspect the cost from Main dealer including fitting (which took me 45 mins) would be close to £800?

The conversion is very simple, needing only two modifications!. Parts needed. Discs Adc1280/dsk3118 or ndb1906. These are ford ecosport 1.5d 2013 on. Or you can use nbd207, these are ford sierra/escort cosworth 4x4, note must be 4x4 as they only fitted these to that model. Calipers I used 2007 volvo s40 300mm. But these calipers are also fitted to volvo v70, s80, s60 and c70, also ford focus mk3(11-), some mk2(05-11) and cmax. BUT they must be from the 300mm disc models!!! Do NOT get 278mm calipers as they won't work. The caliper mounting has 300 cast into it for identification. How to fit. All that is needed is to drill out the holes in the hub to 12.2mm to clear the caliper bolts which are 12mm(the old fiesta are 10mm) Thats it!hose fits as normal, discs go straight on and with the hole opened so do the calipers. Note, if you use the cosworth disc you need a 5-6mm spacer between the caliper and hub lug to correct the disc offset. As usual, use of this information comes with no warranties or liability.
