disk retaining screw
Hi, does anyone know if the thread on the hub to disk retaining screws are the same on a phrase 2, as the later models, I think they may be M100 , but not sure, I can only find one listing for my car, but it don't give the thread size, or length i just changed my disc's and pads, and none of the ones had those screws fitted, relying on just the wheel nuts to keep them in place , I would like to set a set and ensure my disc's are properly secured .

The disc retaining screw is to prevent the discs falling off and keeping the discs aligned correctly when the car is on the production line before the wheels are fitted and don't have any value or increase disc security in daily use which is to be expected given there's only one per disc and their small thread diameter.

M100? That'd be a rather large screw
As above, the discs won't be moving anywhere as long as you are planning on putting the wheels back on before you drive it. All I'd say is it's ideal putting a little bit of copper grease or grease made specially for brakes where the disc mounts to the hub so it's easier to remove next time.
