    New rotors and pads for 130 td5

    Can anybody recommend a brand and supplier for the above vehicle for the rear brakes?
    Slotted or solid?
    It is a 2003 defender with P38 diff.
    Reading on ebay there appears to be two different size of rotors.
    To save me going out in the dark and pulling a wheel off to measure, does the brains trust have an opinion on which size I need??
    I use the car to put my boat in fairly reguarly off the beach so would solid discs be better ?
    And yes it does get a liberal spray off penetrol and lanolin, but surface rust is hard to stop.
    Opinions please.

    I really liked the DBA slotted (not crossdrilled) rotors I fitted to the Tdi 130.
    Sorry, can't help with the size of the rears.

    Pads are another story.
    I've used Ferodo and TRW.
    Ferodo rears squeal like a banshee when dusty, and I drove dirt a lot. They were really annoying.
    The TRW's did better and stop ok.
    Being a Deefer the pedal needs a big shove.
    I would've liked to have tried EBC Yellow Stuff.
