Title: Front Disc's
Post by: snozzer on September 05, 2008, 02:52:54 PM

My XJ passed its MOT :-(

Whose the best place for discs and pads?

Do I need any extras when changing them (i.e. special washers etc)?

Nothing special, cheapest around here is your local motor factor. Expect to cough up about £120 for the lot.  Don't tighten the caliper bolts up too much or you'll need a helicoil - don't ask me how I know...

I've fitted a set of these a couple of years ago from a local ebay trader and they've been fine ever since:
