  1. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    Recently purchased a very nice Jaguar X-Type and love it. Have never driven an automatic in my life until now. My understanding is that to start a car you simply turn the key, then when switching gears, have the brake pressed in. My father is telling me I need to keep the brake pedal depressed...
  2. XJ (X350, X358) Aluminium Body 2003 - 2009
    Had ordered new steel wheel nuts by way of preventative maintenance. Weather was good today so thought good time for a bit of light DIY, famous last words as in checking the brake clippers the bottom glide pins were seized solid. By the time front calippers were was done was too late to start on...
  3. XF (X260) 2015 - Present
    Hi! I would like to change my front brake discs and wondering if i can easily put there 350mm (18") discs? Currently, if i dont mistake, i have 325mm (17"). Calipers not painted Has anybody already tried to do the same? Or caliper needs to be replaced?
  4. XJ (X350, X358) Aluminium Body 2003 - 2009
    Took the Jag for its MOT which passed but the hand brake and the rear brake efficiency although within legal limit was not ideal The discs and pads are nearly new so thinking maybe the pads or the glide pins are binding thus reducing efficiency, unless anyone else can suggest other potential...
  5. XJ (X350, X358) Aluminium Body 2003 - 2009
    Hi all not used to Jags given this is my first, therefore looking to solicit the forum experience towards establishing if the experience outlined below is normal or otherwise When depressing the break there is quite a bit of travel so one could describe is as quite spongy whist the car is...
  6. XE (X760) 2015 - Present
    Hi guys, This is my first post and it has been more than a year for me trying to find a solution for this. I get this stupid yellow massage "Parking Brake Fault" and I went to many people to fix it but only the dealer is willing to do it and he wants to charge me thousands and not even tell...
  7. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    Hello, Im from Spain, i'm not sure if its called leveler. I changed rear break pads today. Brake pedal is spongy and handbreak does not adjust itself, i think both things are related so i found a lot threads talking about spongy pedal and the fault was in rear calipers. I used hanbrake hard...
  8. XK / XKR (X150) 2006 - 2014
    Hi, I'm changing discs and brake pads soon, and wanted to upgrade the flexible brake lines while I had the wheels off the car. I've been looking for a brake line kit for my 2007 4.2 XK-R with the ATE calipers, but all the listings that I've seen only cater for the older x100 Jaguar XK8 model...
  9. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    Hi, Does anyone know if there is a difference in the brake kit (discs and pads) and the associated part numbers between RHD and LHD X-Types? I have a UK (RHD) X-Type but want to order parts in Germany. Exact mode: X-Type, 2005, 2.5L Sport V6 AWD Saloon. Cheers
  10. F-Pace (X761) 2015 - Present
    Hi, hopefully this is in the right place... just wondered if anyone could help me with the function of 'park' and the electric parking brake on the F-Pace... Last night I parked my AWD F-Pace on my driveway in the snow - drive is at a slight incline, not massively though. I put it in park and...
  11. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Hi and apologies i have seen many a thread on this and no joy on how to fix. I am trying to upload a video to show the issue. Basically 'left rear brake lamp failed' on dash , also when left indicator selected both indoxtors come on. Have bought new light cluster, fuses all seem ok.as do...
  12. XK / XKR (X150) 2006 - 2014
    Hello all. My 08 xkr needs new pads and discs on the front. By all accounts I do not have the performance brake option fitted. I'm also not prepared to tolerate any main dealer or specialist naming their own price. I'm interested in everyone's view of Mintex, Apec, Brembo or Ferodo parts. I...
  13. S Type Stickies
    Only noticed something amiss when following a truck down a steep Dorset hill with a T-junction at the bottom. First two brake presses alright then pedal very hard, and two feet needed on the pedal to stop car and just avoid collision - seemed brake servo (or booster) had insufficient vacuum...
  14. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    Yesterday I changed the front discs and pads on my 2.2d x type. After changing them i then bleed all four callipers, as my brake pedal was quite spongy. On completion of all the work, I drove home, the brake are now constantly on! Not on so much that i cant drive, but enough to be noticed. I...
  15. S-Type (X200, X202, X204, X206) 1999 - 2008
    Hi, My S-type 2005 while cruising at highway speeds and encountering dips on the highway sometimes momentarily brakes. The braking is just so quick but it unnerves me ever so much. I tried keeping the ESP off, but it still happens. Does anyone else face the same issues and has anyone got further...
  16. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
    Afternoon all, Can I ask for some advice please? I've just noticed a short on my 3.0 automatic x type which occurs when I depress the brake pedal. Basically all the dash lights come on, along with the climate lights and there is a knock coming from the gear selector! I've had a look behind the...
  17. X-Type (X400) 2001 - 2009
