Do most modern mercedes vans (post 1999) use disc brakes on the front? I am looking to upgrade/buy a new van. Thanks in advance

Disc brakes on the front and drums on the rear I would of thought.

Thanks for that.

Hi Dave

Brakes - no problem.
Rust - big problem.
Injectors - even bigger problem just like new Renault Trafic and variants.

Thank you Bruce. My topic is a 2 edged sword.
I cannot believe the pointless topics discussed in depth on here at the moment. Sorry just having one of those moments.

hope you and yours are keeping well.
Oliver had a little look at the chinese water heater. I think he may be splashing the cash!!

  and I get drawn into them.

He said he was going to see you today. There was a Richard Jagger (Smithie) on here who said they were junk and didn't last. Everyone else seems to get good service from them. For £80 you can't complain from what I see.

Rear drums?!
Thought they stopped doing drum brakes when British leyland stopped manufacturing!
Genuinely didn't know you could still get drum brakes.

mercs had a disc/drum combo on the rears, good system.

Citroen Relay, Peugeot Boxer and Fiat Ducato series up to 2006 have front discs and rear drums.
