			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.
