Description
Disc Brake Rotor Replacement: The TRW Way
> Disc brake rotors are prime suspects when your Jaguar or Daimler's braking feels off. Heat and hard use can warp or crack 'em, especially if you drive it like you stole it. Let's get those sorted.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing like a gutted pig when you brake?
• Brake pedal doing the jitterbug?
• Taking longer to pull up than you'd like?
• Rotors looking like they've seen better days (scoring, cracks, rust)?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake rotors are a WOF fail waiting to happen. They gotta be above minimum thickness and crack-free to pass the test.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-3 hours per axle
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, wheel chocks
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, before you get stuck in, a few quick words from Bob to keep you safe and the job clean:
• Safety First, Mates! Never, ever get under a car supported *only* by a jack. Use proper axle stands – your life's worth it.
• Blast that Brake Dust: Brake dust is nasty stuff. Give everything a good spray with Brake Cleaner before you start pulling things apart. It'll keep the dust down and make the job cleaner.
• Glove Up: Keep your hands clean and protected with a decent pair of Nitrile Gloves. Brake cleaner and old brake fluid aren't exactly skin-friendly.
• Copper Anti-Seize: A light smear of copper anti-seize on the back of the pads will stop any squealing.
• Eye Protection: Safety glasses are a no-brainer when you're dealing with brake dust and flying debris. Get some Safety Glasses.
Expert Recommendation
Worn rotors = dodgy braking. Replacing them brings back that 'new car' confidence. Bob's always keen for a yarn to help you nail the right part. Pop into Bob's Shop for a chat!
Fitment Notes
Double-check the new rotors match your old ones *exactly* – diameter, thickness, bolt pattern. Some models can be different depending on the year and trim.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, always install fresh brake pads. Check out our compatible TRW Brake Pads (Part No. GDB1040) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!
🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from grease and dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use Brake Cleaner to clean the anti-corrosion shipping oil off the new rotors before mounting the calipers.
• Lubrication: Apply caliper grease to caliper slide pins and pad contact points to prevent squealing.
