The beam itself should be the same, though I can't say for certain about the wiring. I believe it would be, as the looms are the same between the Xsara and 306 if I remember correctly?

Cheers for the reply, would it just be a matter of switching the calipers over if they didnt match up ?

Almost certain should be the same just a straight swap if yours had discs. And being an 03 plate should be in half good condition.
