Front brake discs and pads

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

For anyone contemplating a front brake discs and pads (283 diam discs) overhaul won't find the parts much cheaper than this ebay listing.

Thanks for another top tip Ken.

I rang my local factors, and they were looking £29 a disc!

Many thanks also for the tip off Ken. Although all the discs were sold, I found a further listing for Brembo discs at £25 inc. postage!! There is another pair from the original dealer listed around £28 inc. With regards, Matthew T.

I see the same seller also has Peugeot 605 discs and pads at the same price (£21.95). The 283 mm diameter discs are the same as the XM ones and the pads are the same size (I think) but without the two piston locating 'pips' on the backplates.
