Need a XJR x308 caliper help!

[jcuthell]

Hi,

I am being asked for £400 for a genuine front caliper. Does anyone know any non oem parts or have experience of reconditioned? Also any recommendations on front discs and pads Jag parts are £200.

Thanks,

James

Just standard 305 mm discs

Sorry should have been clearer. It's an x308 but earlier vin so 305mm discs. So what SNG said is the original Jaguar part also includes at £470 but the cheaper £108 is reconditioned and just the piston assembly. Has anyone experience of this?

Have you spoken to them to confirm it's just the piston ?

I doubt they are selling just the piston but happy to be corrected. If so a piston and seal kit comes to just under £200, takes about 5 mind to strip and rebuild a caliper if you have an airline.

Wonder if I am looking in wrong place. Checked this site last night and couldn't find any calipers. Good deal with 30% off this weekend. Yes agree will buy Jag discs and pads

I have found the caliper on Euro Car parts by selecting model rather than reg. There are two offside front at £102 and £108. The only difference seems to be cast numbers and cast reference which I amnot even sure what they are?

David Manners checked by vin and definitely one of the last with 305 mm discs. Pagid discs and pads look a good buy on Euro Carparts
