front brake discs was created by Davyo
Help I bought a set of front discs and pads off the bay of evil.They are identical to that taken off but the new ones won't bed in right ( sitting about 40mm off so not flush with the hub.I think it's the shamphered bit that fits snug round the vacuum hub.Am I missing something or have I been sent wrong discs.The box states jimny 98- & vitara.

Two different sized discs on the Jimny . 107mm centres and 108.3mm , you have to get the correct ones

Enter a Paypal/Ebay dispute process as "not as advertised" - they were advertised for your model and are not.

The dispute process usually favours the buyer and if nothing else prompts the seller to reply

Cheers lads
I've order a correct set through my local car bitz &£19 each.Martin will the pads be OK though that came with the eBay wrong discs?I might just keep the pads and use them with the correct discs as they will be here in the morning.I suppose I could try and sell the eBay discs on here , if I get £20 back I'll be happy.
