Hi there, the sport models have rear discs as standard. Mine's an SE model with ESP which has to have rear discs in order for the system to function.

kk thanks, what are sports models, any model with 's' at the end rather than 'e' etc.

it will be listed as sport - s is another spec level

I know no 1.2's have them but unsure which 1.4's actually have disks :S

I thought that back in 2002, all 1.4s and upwards had rear disks - ie only the 1.2s had drums in UK. My wife's car has ESP but I think that it would have been supplied with rear disks even if I had not specified ESP as an option.

Correct, all 1.4 engines and above (except 1.9 SDI) came with rear discs regardless of trim level.

Being a sad b****rd, I still have a 2003MY catalogue and GaryUK is spot-on.
