Front Brakes
Can anyone tell me what size discs are on my 1998 S Megane Coupe 2.0 16v?

Are they 280 or 235?

measure it.

depending on its age you could have 259, 262's or 285's.

Only the earliest P plate 2l 16V's will have 259's though

well no one will know, they will have fitted whatever was in the pallet beside the line at the time.

Like the older cars, some got bendix some got girlings, depends on what they had beside the line at the factory

if the caliper doesn't have an extenion pointing down then it will have 259's. Its about an inch long follows the profile of the disc.
