i have never done this but would think it would be easier to swap the complete rear axle for one from a XSARA that has disc's already,
if you have any salvage yards local to you,

If the car is non-ABS then you may have to use the rear brake pressure compensators specifically for disc brakes. They may be different between disc and drum.
ABS sensors may be different and the handbrake operating mechanism may be too... As Malcolm says, better to source all you need from a donor.
In all honestly, rear discs are hardly worth having over a good drum setup. They give all sorts of trouble that drums don't for no real gain. Handbrakes and rear discs are never a good combination
