Although this thread is a bit dated, I'm hoping someone will respond. I took my 2004 XJ8 into the shop I usually go to. (I'm not at all mechanical like most of you guys so yes, i take my car in for service
, but I do like to know how things work on my car.
Anyway, I was hearing a horrible grinding noise - front tire area. He told me the rotors were very, very, very (yes, 3 verys) bad and needed replaced, along with brake pads. (Cost $670). I would love to see what a very very very bad rotor looks like? Does anyone have a pic they can share?
And are the rotors on the 2004 XJ8 slotted/drilled?
Thanks ahead,

On a XJ8 I would not of thought they would be Brembo but that is definitely a Brembo price, normal rotors and pads should not be more than $150 in parts and no more than 2hrs labour to do both sides and that is being generous
