After years of resisting the X350 body style, I finally made the leap from an X308. I really liked the more sultry body style, but wow, what a difference in car. I moved from an XJ8 to an XJR, and man, am I glad I did. So far, not too quirky, and a joy to motor around the Illinois expressways. The only thing I hate is the brake pads kick off tons of dust. Would like to change to ceramics, but most of them say "NOT for use on cars with electric parking brake". Has anybody used Ceramic or Kevlar on cars with electric parking brakes? Also, is the factory recommendation of 100k miles for belt changes/pligs/blower oil change/plugs realistic? Any suggestion for plugs that work especially well in a 2004 XJR 4.2? Thanks for any information anybody might have.
