Re: Changing the Discs
Nothing special - your local factors should be able to provide you with the correct parts by car reg or description

Re: Changing the Discs
Be sure to change the pads as well, and if you're doing the rears you may as well stick a new set of handbrake shoes in there. Beware the backplates will be rotten! 
I found Ebay is a good source for brake bits.

Re: Changing the Discs
I got a full set of discs, pads and shoes all round for about £120 delivered from ebay, Mintex brakes.
Give yourself a day to get it all done, or do front one day and back another day, like I did.

I'd also check how rotten the handbrake cable is while you've got the back end apart.
