Description
Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Your Jaguar or Daimler's brake pads are what slow you down, turning all that go-power into heat when they squeeze against the rotors. They wear down over time, so keeping them fresh is key for safe stopping. Especially important when you're piloting a classic like a Jag or Daimler!
Spotted These Warning Signs?
• Brakes squealing like a banshee?
• Taking longer to pull up at the lights?
• Pedal vibrating like crazy?
• Pads lookin' a bit worse for wear?
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail your WOF here in NZ. Pads need enough meat on them to stop safely. Give 'em a regular check to stay on the right side of the law.
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours (depending on experience)
Tools Required: Jack and stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Alright, team, before you dive into those brakes, let's make sure we're doing it right. Safety first, always!
• Safety Glasses: Don't want any brake dust or cleaner in your eyes. Safety glasses are a no-brainer.
• Nitrile Gloves: Keep those mitts clean and protected from the grime. Nitrile Gloves are your best mate here.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty carbon dust from the rotors and calipers. Makes the job cleaner and safer. Grab a can of Brake Cleaner.
• Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease will keep things moving smoothly and prevent squeals. Well worth it for a quiet life.
Expert Recommendation
Swapping out those brake pads is vital for keeping your Jaguar or Daimler safe and sound. Worn pads mean longer stopping distances, especially when you need to slam on the anchors.

Fitment Notes
Double-check that these pads are the right fit for your specific Jaguar or Daimler model and year. Some models have different brake setups, so check those part numbers before you get started.

🛠️ 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. DF4094S) 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.
