Good video except for the bit about letting air out from the bleed nipple,, there isn't any air in the system, when you bleed brakes you remove all air as the hydraulic fluid isn't compressible like air is… as you did loosen the nipple you will certainly need to bleed the brakes to ensure you didn't let air into the system….
Hi there, so glad to find your channel. Realisitcally, what's the ownership experience like this the X350? Are they really tricky to look after? I have had plenty of MGR stuff so am no stranger to hard to get parts and tricky jobs.
Nice to see nothing out of the ordinary when I come to do mine. From experience on Peugeots and many other cars with a sliding caliper, It is worth pulling the sliding pins out, give them a wire brush and pop back in with some copper grease applied. Years ago in a borrowed Citroen, I had to deal with binding brakes at the roadside due to seized sliding pins, which is completely avoidable if dealt with when doing pads.
Very helpful buddy
what size discs did you get? 320 or 326mm? I have the V6 2005 XJ and not sure

Hi. What pads did You use? Do they work fine with TRW brakes? Is double piston calipper a standard in x350?
