My rears look pretty worn so want to renew them.
Have the TRW on at the moment but trying to find the same brings up quite a few different types and sizes.

Anyone decipher these numbers on the current pads?

Mintex Brakebook is very useful and may help.

To be honest I gave up trying to match them, especially with the generally poor postings on ebay - the best I could find saved me about £15 so I just got them from my local dealer's parts dept.
If your pad warning indicator comes on you'll need a new one for the osr but they're cheap enough too.
Just watch the weight of those rear wheels!!

I did look to get some low dust ones but to be honest I didn't want to fit non-Jaguar parts whilst the car is still under extended warranty, just to be safe.

The below might help you to identify the correct ones - looks like you may have a V6S?

Thanks both.
I certainly want to fit oe parts as still under warranty, but unless Jaguar are competitive on pricing to do the whole thing, I’ll buy the parts and give the car to my mate to fit.

It’s a V8R.

Jag fixed price is £275 for rear pads - easy to fit, so save yourself £175 for less than an hour's careful work.
