New owner of XK8
06.05.2011 at 22:57:12
 
Hi All,

Hope you dont mind me asking but I am a new Owner of a 1998 XK8.
when I brought the car the owner told me about a judder when braking.

It vibrates through the pedal...Any idea if the pads need replacing or if it is something else..

Many thanks

Phil Grin

Hi Philtaz. It sounds like a disc problem to me vented discs often get  radial cracks in them specially if cheapo pattern discs are used. another cause cn be thickness variations resulting from skimming the disc o Smileyn a lathe  Smiley Smiley
