A set of front pads every 20K miles in a high performance car like like XJR is good, X type is not a Jaguar

2 sets of disks and pads in 20 k

i know the x type is not a jag hoping it would be more reliable boy was i wrong

Just put front pads (lockheed) on my XJR today, cost £26 incl VAT........also it had an annoying suspension rattle at the front.....lower shocker bushes, bought a pair from Jaguar, price £5.50 + Vat.......what I am getting at is a £55K car thats as fast as (some) Ferraris, can be forgiven going through brakes when they are priced sensibly..........shame you have gone to Vauxhall but you might be back. Good Luck

a set of pads and disks every 10 k is a bit of a pisser

the new engine 3 months after getting it also puts a crimp on your day as they give you a 3.2 sport to drive for the month
