Hello ALL !!!
Just collected my XJR at the weekend.
VERY happy with the car and it's a realy clean example and drives really well, but there are a couple of minor things that need doing:
1. Front discs feel just a little judder when braking from 70mph (ish)
2. Missing Wheel arch liner (small section) from pass side front
3. fill it up with petrol .... AGAIN !!! ha ha

Anyone in the Midlands know of any good independants?

Also, typed up XJR Brakes in Google and took me to ebay (again) where these MINTEX XJR brake discs and pads are being sold for £90.00 ...
Any good?!

Congrats.

Some say the minties can squeal and give off more dust than OE. I go to www.davidmanners.co.uk for OE spec parts; prices are similar.

Thanks for the response!
Any other options for brake disks that are better than OE?
And any idea of what the cost for front disks and pads is likely to be?
