Need a XJR x308 caliper help!
Discussion
You don't say what year etc. Going by the 305mm discs it's a x308 xjr. If it's not brembo all the xj8 calipers were the same. So any xj8 one will fit, you may have problems with a factor exchange as xk8 and xj8 had different pipe orentitation ( sp )
SOME XKR AND XJR were fitted with 325mm front discs which required a different caliper carrier but used the same caliper.
You are probably being quoted incorrectly for either a 325mm caliper or a Brembo.
In short order a caliper for a XJ8.
Hope that makes sense.

Have you spoken to them to confirm it's just the piston ?
I doubt they are selling just the piston but happy to be corrected. If so a piston and seal kit comes to just under £200, takes about 5 mind to strip and rebuild a caliper if you have an airline.

Wonder if I am looking in wrong place. Checked this site last night and couldn't find any calipers. Good deal with 30% off this weekend. Yes agree will buy Jag discs and padsI doubt they are selling just the piston but happy to be corrected.

Digging into my archive I used www.carparts-direct.co.uk
They did an exchange deal on my caliper and its been fine for several years now.
They were based in Derby, 01332 290833.
I dont know if they are still trading, but it may help.

I've used Brakes International a number of times over the years and they have always supplied calipers which are as good as new. Fully refurbished from them means new everything apart from the body and it's finished like a new caliper. Fantastic value.
