Got a set of what he said were 2L Calipers, but I dont have a clue what car they are off, so I dont know what pads to buy

Any markings on them that I should look for?

They *look* like my 2L Calipers. In which case any pads & discs off either the Mk2 Astra GTE 16v, MK3 Astra GSi 16v (with the XE engine), Cav GSi/SRi with XE engine or Calibra 16v should fit. When mine need replacing I just go in and ask for discs and pads for a 1992 Astra GSi

They looks identical. Ill get a set of pads for a 1992 Astra GSI then, if they are wrong I can always sell them on again.

V6 calipers look the same, as do all of the ones from that era, difficult to say from a picture.

I'd have just taken the caliper to your local motor factor and they could have tried the pads and told you which ones you'd need

Sized them up to the 2L calipers, the 2L ones are much bigger, assume the calipers I was told were 2L are 1.2 or something
