TangoVictor32 90 Posted April 29, 2020 Hi guys got a Jag xf and the discs need doing. Looking at the factors sites there are two sizes - 322mm and 356mm. How do i find out which size mine are without taking them off and measuring them? I rather buy myself and save the discount as the mechanic says he doesnt get any. Obviously I would have rang the dealer up but they're closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Row 71 Posted April 29, 2020 I would just take a wheel off and measure them in situ, should be quite easy to see a 34mm difference without stripping further. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blueprint usually will display only the right part and give you all the possible oe part numbers. Best way to be 100% certain is find what looks like the right part off one of the big warehouse ebay sellers. send them an email with your reg and they will confirm the parts they have are correct or direct you to the correct listing. You can then buy off them or use the part number that you now have to find the best value. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes thanks for that but let's be honest His mechanic should be able to get them delivered at a good price from a decent factor when times are normal within an hour usually depending where you are It's possible hes nailed the mechanic so far down on price that mechanic has chosen to let him order the parts then when they dont fit he can charge again To the mechanic read this https://iaafnewsletter.co.uk/2017/05/05/customer-supplied-parts-are-you-fitting-them/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Halfpenny 114 Posted April 30, 2020 (edited) The easiest way to tell what type of brakes are fitted is to get a torch and peer in through the wheels at the calipers. If they have an oblong panel visible with 2 dimples on it then its the performance brake system - 355mm. If the caliper has an "arch" in the middle then they are standard brakes 322mm.R models have a coloured "R" in the centre panel - 380mm. All rears are the same. But, honestly, it only takes about 10mins to wizz a wheel off and measure. I'd want to do that anyway to inspect the calipers\hoses etc before ordering parts.
