Default LT TDCi front rotors size

Can anyone enlighten me what size rotors are supposed to be for the LT '07 Diesel? Also are the pads DB1679?

The workshop manual (available here) says its 300mm but every eBay or other online listing is saying its 278mm, confused

278mm is the size for the 1.6 and 1.8L engine models according to the LT WSM.

I believe the pads are DB1679 for the front and DB1763 rear.

The replacement front rotor should be a Bosch PBR2380 or DBA 2118E.

Below are the specs for the brakes, how ever its confusing as the parts catalogue only lists one rotor for all?

Genuine Rotor: 5M512C375AC

Genuine Pads: 7M592K021AA

Yep exactly, the DBA2118E is a 278. I thought the diesel was supposed to have larger rotors, I guess I'll have to pull one and measure it

Well I finally got them checked and they're 278mm on a 2.0 Diesel so something is wrong somewhere. Perhaps the 300mm was an optional upgrade?
