x308 XJR... things to consider

[speckledspaniard]

Having just purchased the above, i'm wondering what an independent specialist or the like will charge for the following items - rough figures of course so i know what to expect over the course of ownership:

wheel bearing replacement (1no)

total suspension bush replacement (front)

supercharger service

brake replacement (front or rear)

spring replacement (CATS)

coolant flush & change

gearbox oil & filter change

and any other figures / bills you've come across for this model

Great forum, i've been reading about these cars on here for a while and am extremely impressed by the wealth of knowledge of contributors. My car will need a bit of TLC but looking forward to many years of supercharged driving...hopefully!

cheers, D

I was quoted £282 for gearbox oil, o rings and filter. Cheers James

I paid a reputable indy about 1200 to replace all bushes and ball joints on front suspension, it transformed the ride (Daimler Super V8)
