Hi Nikie and welcome.

From memory (not a good thing) there are 2 sizes of front disc but only 1 rear. Easiest way is to take a wheel off and measure them. It's the only way to be certain especially as you are ordering from the net. You want to be sure to save posting wrong ones back.

Peugeots are hard on the discs for some reason, so personally I would buy a well known make such as Lockheed, and don't forget, you will need new brake pads at the same time.
If there is quite a bit of *meat* left on the existing pads. I would wait untill they need replacing, then do disc and pads at the same time.
It's not dangerous as it was only an advisory, otherwise they would have failed on the test.

Hi Nikie, I have inherited my daughters car, same year as yours, I replaced both front and rear pads and discs last year for it's MOT and it can be quite tricky, Col has posted in one of the forums I've just been looking through them, I bought mine from a local auto outlet called DRB they sized them off the reg number and they fitted a treat, wish I had seen Col's post sooner as the rear cylinder twists and does not compress like the front calipers do. I would recommend looking at Col's post before trying to fit them, just make sure you follow the instructions and if in doubt get a garage to do them...they are your brakes after all.
