Description
Swapping Out Those Brake Pads — TRW Edition
> Brake pads are what bring your car to a stop! They wear down over time, especially if you're giving it stick in a Peugeot 208 GTi or Jaguar S-Type R. Keeping on top of this is a no-brainer for safety.
Uh Oh, Sounds Like You've Got These Symptoms:
• Brakes squealing like a gutted pig?
• Taking longer to stop than you'd like?
• That pesky brake pad light's lit up on the dash?
• Pads look like they've seen better days?
• Feeling a bit of a wobble through the pedal?
Will it pass WOF?
Worn brake pads are a typical WOF failure. They need enough meat on them to pull you up safely. Give them a regular check to make sure you're up to scratch.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, C-clamp or brake spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you even think about cracking open the toolbox, mate, safety first! We're talking safety glasses to keep that brake dust out of your peepers and some heavy-duty Nitrile Gloves to keep the hands clean. Brake dust is NASTY stuff, so don't muck around. Get yourself a can of Brake Cleaner to blast all the carbon dust away. And while you're at it, a wee dab of anti-seize caliper grease on the right spots will keep things smooth as for next time. Never get under a car supported only by a jack, use proper stands.
Expert Recommendation
Keeping your brake pads in good nick is essential, especially if you're driving something like a Volvo S60 R or Citroen DS 3. Bob @ CARFIX is your man to sort you out with the right parts. Head over to Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Make sure these pads are the right fit for your ride. Some cars, like the Jaguar S-Type Supercharged, might need special pads for top performance. Always do both sides at once to keep things even.
Bob's a big fan of safe motoring. Give those brakes some love today!

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF1533S) 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: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
