I guess these are the correct discs, odd that it lists the ones you bought under the same Fiesta 2.0

Pagid are great brake pads. It's not their fault ECP supplied the wrong ones. Phone them up, explain what's happened and they'll give you the correct ones.

It happens now and again with suppliers.

I have to have clients in the car so gives a massive reason why not to risk them.

Just rang eurocarparts and explained to them and they said just go to a local store and they'll sort me out. Just hope they take the front ones back as they have a tiny bit of wear on them.

The shopping had to be done though or it would of never got done lol.

I now have the proper front and back disks on. Thought bugger it and bought the pagid pads aswell.

Got a nice 30% discount which saved me 50 odd quid.

But i now have a new problem . I have managed to get a bit of air somewhere in my brake system. Not sure yet if ill be able to get away with bleeding the system a bit or having to do a full flush.

Brake pedal is sinking all way, if i pump it once and then brake it works spot on.

So if a full flush is needed, how hard is this to do?

My Cars service is about 500miles away so i was thinking of just getting a full service done at ford but cannot find how much this costs or what it involves? (hoping it involves a a refresh on the brakes system fluid)

Which service is it? 1st or 2nd (or equivalent if it's more than 3 years old) then a little over £100. 3rd service (major one) then between £200 and £250.
