Smoking XJR-S 6.0L

Hello Glenn,
I know what you mean - it's just taken me an hour to change a light bulb on the Shogun, and it wasn't fun. I did the brakes in the summer, which was reasonable.

I'm not really sure about the performance of the Greenstuff pads - it failed the MOT so I have only driven it the 4 miles to and from the test bay! It's certainly much better than when I first had it, but since then it has had new tyres, new rear brake pipes, new flexis, rebuilt calipers and new fluid, any one of which could be a cause of improvement. I fitted them mainly because I have read lots about them and they seem good. My last car was a Jensen INterceptor, on which I also did the brakes, and there was a huge improvement on that just using standard pads, but with new discs.

Hopefully I'll have the beast running again in the summer so will let you know what the pads are like.
