D3 V8 Brake upgrade kit
Got to say really great service from Advanced Factors - ordered the brake upgrade yesterday lunchtime, got a message back confirming the order within minutes & they arrived with me today. Top service many thanks
Not had time to fit them yet - but there's a fair bit of weight in the box (our poor receptionist at work wondered what on earth was in there - not the usual boring IT stuff I order!!).

It's a worthwhile upgrade...BREXIT - done properly.
Right now ...We need Government - not Politics
Save the Dipstick Flagbearer-keep it simple, less likely to fail campaign-agenda items:Starting Handles, Acetylene Lamps.

D3 HSE-perfectly formed, passenger friendly...has real DIPSTICK
Jag XK-but sadly no DIPSTICK...HUGE design fault
FL2 has DIPSTICK..."real comfort in rear seats"
VW Golf wondermobile (?)..has real DIPSTICK
Morris Minor..original DIPSTICK technology..and a real KEY.

Well the new brakes have been on for a week now & wow, what a difference - the D3 feels so much assured under braking, goodness only knows why LR didn't fit these as standard on the diesel models.
.....so new on the shopping list are a V8 set for the back (might have to wait until after the holiday in the tintent though!)

My mot adviseries were.... Front and rear disc brakes worn and pitted... Think I may have to stump up for this upgrade. Front and rear.
As the op said. Advanced factors all the way ! Just wish I could get some brembo calipers for a decent price... Jarrod
Current : D3 2007 HSE - AKA the lemon
-beanie grille
-detango with led bulbs
-club body off rebuild. TWICE.

Well back from taking the tintent to France & the brake upgrade makes it feel so much better than the standard ones.
Thanks to Steve & team for sorting them out for me & everyone on here who convinced me to do the upgrade
