    I have just replaced shoes & cylinders on a 306. Even after identifying
    the brakes as Lucas (Girling) I was still supplied with the wrong items
    by the factors. After taking in the offending parts they went though
    all the possibilities in their stock.

    It was found that the ones that matched were for the an ABS fitted 306,
    which it don't have.

    This caused a great deal of hassle as well as delay. Is it normal for
    Pug to fit any old part on the line, making the factors reference books
    useless?

    TIA

    Not sure if this will help - but I was fitting shoes on my Peugeot 306 (L
    reg) and I was told there are four different types. So Bought all four (£80)
    and returned the ones I didn't needed what a messabout.

    I've just had exactly the same happen with my 205 (pads only though,
    but still a nuisance), apparently they can tell you which type you have
    just from the registration...apparently not. To make it even more
    confusing, mine has bendix on the front and girling on the back... I
    wish I knew what their grand plan was!
