I understand that the brakes on the Lagonda are XJS sourced ? The front rotors and calipers are XJS correct ?

The rears seem to be a little bit more "unique". Are the rotors in the rear unique to the Lagonda ? (I have heard "modified XJS" but not sure what this means). Also, if I wanted a rebuild kit for the rear calipers, are these XJS caliper rebuild kits for rear ?

Thanks in advance, car is at a local euro shop and they just rebuilt the 4 DCNF's with kits I supplied. Brakes need sorting so any info is appreciated !

Are there any resources for a wiring diagram ?

Lots of newbie questions Confused

Front brakes ( callipers/disks/pads ) are coming from a XJS or a XJ S3.
Rear pads ( inclusive parking pads ) too.
Rear disks are specific to AML.
The rear callipers from a XJS have to be modified with the ones taken from the Lagonda. Put them together and you will see which modification you have to make ( copper tubes and brace from the lagonda have to be placed on the XJS/XJ S3 callipers ). That's it !

I have a wiring diagram for 13284 and above US cars but :

1.unsuitable for CRT's
2.I have not a lot of free time now to make copies so if you are patient, let me know... Very Happy

To get a wiring diagram about EFI cars (fitted with the CRT ), try this :
