I need a pair of front calipers for a 1998 X308 XJR, either new or reconditioned. Any pointers as to where to get them?

JAG Dealer? Would be worth checking. Some parts priced similarly to internet parts specialists. Potential to negotiate discount and save on postage costs. I just bought a coolant bleed hose for less than advertised by a well known internet shop, no del charge and part was a stocked line. Good deal! Only problem is they are closed on Saturdays so had to send someone to collect during the week.

I got mine from www.carparts-direct.co.uk. They did a swap on the existing calipers for reconditioned replacements, they were only £70 each. No problems with the replacements whatsoever and tyhey were fast too.
