Hello, 2007 Jaguar XK 2.4 Coupe Base owner here. I have been looking for proper information regarding the compatibility of some EBC products, hoping you guys can help me out. I really want slotted and drilled rotors (sure for looks) and preferably not made in China, which puts me at Hawk and EBC only, and Hawk is not compatible on all wheels...so here I am with EBC as my only choice. The EBC Parts Finder says "compatible", yet every authorized dealer linked from EBC 's site says "not compatible". I have looked at the specs, and it seems the rotors should be compatible. I'm looking at: EBC S5KF1896 (kit with yellow stuff) Front Specs: Pad No. D1241; Vented; 5 Bolt Holes; 326mm Dia.; 47mm Height; 30mm Thick; 71mm Center Hole Dia. and EBC S5KR1598 (kit with yellow stuff) Rear Specs: Pad No. D1095; Vented; 5 Bolt Holes; 326mm Dia.; 38mm Height; 20mm Thick; 64.3mm Center Hole Dia. So are they actually compatible? Am I missing something? Do I need to buy them separately instead to fit? Please advise. 2nd question if applicable: the same is available with Bluestuff. EBC S6KF1245 and S6KR1186 (same specs I believe) which EBC Parts Finder also says "compatible" andauthorized sellers say "not compatible". But if they are, does anyone recommend yellow vs blue or vice versa? Thank you all in advance, I included the images of the kits

Evening Won’t a normal diagnostic unit do? At a good independent garage? Regards Shaun

Hi Todd, it depends where you are of course, but for the XK8 parts, I would naturally direct folks to DCR Auto Parts, speak with Dave Roche who is a great solutions provider. Link below will take you to his website and contact detaisl. https://www.dcrautoparts.com/ N6 JMX

My 2005 Jaguar XK8 has been in the shop for months, Looking for vendors who have the suspension parts...any good leads of reputable companies?

Hi Shaun, you need to get it plugged in to a suitable Jaguar specific diagnostics unit to obtain the stored codes, otherwise it will be a case of chasing component replacement which becomes increasingly expensive. N6 JMX

Hi Everyone I have a 2010 Jaguar XKR, and i have just got a Adaptive Dynamics Fault come up on my dash board and my suspension has become very hard. Any advice would be greatly received. Regards Shaun.

Well the Switch arrived back yesterday and it looks nice and clean. It has obviously been opened as the rivets holding it all together have been changed. So far so good but of course the acid test will be the functionality once fitted - I'm still nervous !

Hi Guillaume, welcome to the Forum. The XJS is a great car and I had a V12 Convertible back in the day, which we used to undertake road trips to Europe, mainly Italy. I live in Scotland, near Aberdeen in the North East of the country, so if you have any questions or need advice on visiting Scotland, just send me a PM and I will try my best to help. N6 JMX

Hello, I’m Guillaume from France. I’m the happy owner of a Jaguar XJS V12 (1988) from 3 years. After several trips behind the wheel of my feline (France, Spain…), I plan to travel around Scotland on October for approximately 15 days. So I have some questions abouts technical aspects and advice to enjoy this trip. I thank you in advance for your responses. Please excuse my approximate english…😅

Hi Wynne I would be surprised if those were the correct size. Mine is 2013 on 19" wheels and takes 245/40s. That profile means you get less cushioning from the tyres in addition to incorrect speed reading etc. My choice is to go for an all season tyre. Absolute performance is slightly less than a summer tyre but as soon as the temperature gets below 8 C they are far better. Add a bit of snow or ice and they are in a different league. Michelin Cross Climates are traditional class leaders but I like the new Bridgestone Turanza 6 All Season as a good compromise. Pirelli Cinturato All Season SF3 are also well rated. Don't forget to buy online as you always get a better price. John

Hi Martin, I have contacted Neil Campbell at the JDHT, just along the road from you and he would very much like to come and collect the cutaway Jaguar. Can you contact Neil on the following email address, thanks. ncampbell@jaguarheritage.com

I've spoken with Dave at DCR, sounds a nice guy. Looks like he could have a solution for me in a couple of weeks. Thanks for your help! Pete

Hi Wynne, go to the Kwik Fit website and type in your registration number to see a range of tyres that will be suitable for your car. You don't need to buy from Kwik Fit, but they will show you the best options to suit. Any worries, come back here and there's lots of assistance. N6 JMX
