Vitara 2.0 16v brakes

Post by Matsuzuki » Thu Aug 24, 2017 3:33 pm

Hi all, I've got a year 1999 vitara 2.0 16v that has been standing for about 3 months and now it's time to get it back on the road. I've been starting it up every couple of weeks but today have taken it for a quick run out and have noticed its developed a knocking coming from the front near side wheel when braking (knocks on every rotation of the wheel). It wasn't there before it was taken off the road so I'm guessing it's corrosion on the discs although it does sound like the disc it warped. Whatever, I'm changing the discs and pads but Eurocarparts and halfords have no details of my vehicle (it was imported at some point) and the only vitara they have on record is a 1.6.
Any ideas what discs and pads I need/part numbers etc as I'd rather not strip the brakes down to find the part numbers and then find out I can't get the parts and be stuck with my anus on axle stands on my drive...
Cheers
