Hi. I have just found this forum, and first impressions are good. I have owned my 2014 F Type 3.0S Coupe , in Salsa red since it was 5 months old and had 1k miles on the clock. That was in March 2015. Now 3 1/2 years down the road, it has just about turned 30k miles and all seems to be running well. My wife and I have used it for a few long road trips around Europe, and it still gives us great pleasure to own and drive.

I am pretty savvy when it comes to cars and things, I own several Land Rovers old and new, and like to do most minor jobs myself. I am currently rebuilding a 1968 Series 2a Landy onto a new chassis, and have done most of the minor servicing on my Disco 4 myself.

The reason I found this forum was that the front pads are getting near to replacement on the Jag, and as it has the larger brakes with the red Jaguar branded calipers, I was looking for a 'how to' guide. I know I can pay to download the Topix manual, but its pricey.

Welcome aboard! Best place to ask about pad replacement is the Technical section, a bit further down the index page.

There’s a video of how to do it on youtube. It looks a bit fiddly but obviously not impossible!
