Is it common practice to replace the brake pads and not resurface the brake disc? Yours looked worn enough to require resurfacing ? Thanks i did appreciate your video.
What are the smaller pads on the other side for ?
Hi, I have got a Jag 2.7 Diesel 2005, as I noticed stopping is not precise and the pedal was bit stiff, I took it to the mechanic he changed the break pads and the vacuum pump but still same? what should I do?
Why this jag has 2 calipers in the rear? What does it affect?
How did you push pistons back in?
Is there a good place to get parts for a Jaguar S-Type R? Can't seem to find a throttle position sensor anywhere.
hello
you guys did a great job. It seems that that Jag has two calipers per front disc rotor as of the Bentkey turbo R. Am I right?
Hi guys, just got my 2003 4.2 n/a home with new brake pads. But they squeal quite a bit. Mechanic said that they fitted brembo pads. But are these the correct once to use for the n/a? I'm having a hard time figuring out whether or not they have fitted the correct once. Cheers!!
So far on this video there is zero conversation or consideration regarding disc condition, maximum run out, minimum disc dimension. Pads are only one part of appropriate brake service.
Great Video! I am replacing my brakes soon on my 2003 Jaguar S-Type R as well. I have not been able to find any Brembo replacement pads for the car. I have only came across EBC, and I would like to if possible to stick with Brembo. I was also wondering how the brake dust was treating you with them?
Thanks for posting this. Just bought an '04 with 28K on it — but the brake dust is driving me crazy. Rotors look good so a pad change alone would be OK.
I'd never replaced 'disk' pads before….Super HUGE drum brakes, with brake pliers, spring and adjustment rods and the like yes, but never disk. Thank for/to your video. I picked up all the required tools, and then some, expecting the usual Mr. Murphy to show up. Bottom line: it couldn't have been easier! Good grief! a total piece of cake. A 1/8" punch/drift, a clamp, an 18 mm. 6 point socket (in prep for rotor swap out) a 'cheater bar' to turn myself into Hercules, some brake cleaning fluid in a can……and about 15 min. per side once the wheels were in the air…..done deal. Thanks for taking the mystery out of it. An absolute piece of p*ss!
Is it true that you need to recalibrate the ABS when you put new pads on? I had my brakes switched out last summer and I've had the ABS fault on since then.
Brilliant video the older gent looks like Tim cooks dad haha great vid thank u
Much appreciate the video…very helpful. Even better if you had narrated while you worked.
looks relativley easy fairplay
