Description

D.I.Y. Disc Brake Rotor Replacement — Featuring RDA
> Disc brake rotors are the unsung heroes of your braking system. They're what your brake pads clamp onto to bring you to a halt. Over time, especially with heavy use in vehicles like the Jaguar X-Type and Ford Mondeo, these rotors can wear thin, warp, or even crack. Time for a change, eh?

Symptoms That Led You Here
• Your brake pedal's doing the shimmy (pulsating or vibrating)
• Sounds like a flock of seagulls every time you brake (squealing or grinding)
• Taking longer to stop than a runaway shopping trolley
• Rotors look like they've been attacked by a grinder (scoring or damage)
• Your brake pads are wearing unevenly

Will it pass WOF?
Worn or dodgy brake rotors are a surefire way to fail a WOF in New Zealand. They need to be within the minimum thickness and free from cracks to pass the test. Don't risk it!

DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 1-2 hours per rotor
Tools Required: Jack and stands (never get under a car supported only by a jack!), lug wrench, socket set, torque wrench, brake cleaner, rotor removal tool (if needed)

🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you dive in, let's make sure you're all set for a safe and tidy job. This isn't just about swapping parts; it's about doing it right, Kiwi style.
• Safety First, Mate! Grab some safety glasses to keep the metal dust and grime out of your eyes. Trust me, you'll thank me later.
• Glove Up: Get yourself a pair of nitrile gloves. Brake dust is nasty stuff, and these will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Brake Cleaner is Your Friend: A can of brake cleaner is essential for blasting away brake dust and grime from the new rotors and calipers. Makes everything nice and clean for optimal performance.
• Anti-Seize Caliper Grease: A little dab of anti-seize caliper grease will ensure smooth operation and prevent annoying squeals. Apply sparingly to the caliper pins and contact points.

Expert Recommendation
Worn brake rotors are a no-brainer when it comes to safety. Replacing them keeps your braking top-notch and stops other parts from getting damaged. RDA rotors are a good bet, but CARFIX has plenty of options for every budget and driving style. Bob @ CARFIX is your man for sorting out exactly what you need for your Jaguar or Ford.

Fitment Notes
Make sure the new rotors are the right match for your vehicle. Some Mondeo models might have different rotor sizes depending on the year and trim. Always double-check before you start. And that Jaguar XK XKR fitment? Only applies to certain models, so triple-check those specs!

🧰 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.
