Jaguar F-Pace - How to Replace the Front Brake Discs & Pads 

The trickiest part of the job is the bit he glossed over. Swapping the sensor. It's hard to get at behind that plastic liner and the replacement part I used (aftermarket) was a nightmare to clip back on to the two locating holes in the chassis. Had to get the wife to hold back the plastic liner while I tried to lever it into the holes with very little room to get any purchase on it. Even just lining it up with the holes is tricky. The bolts for the caliper carrier (21mm) are hard to get currently tried several suppliers but out of stock. Eventually found genuine JLR ones at £5/ bolt on ebay. The torque and angle specs given here are in agreement with the service manual. The caliper slide pin bolts are 11mm hex as stated in the video. Best check you have one before you start.

Wow you saved my neighbor a lot of money having me do this brake pad change, one thing I missed first time I watched was the 11 MM hex, had to order that thing, went ahead and bought 3 on Amazon...I like being able to help a neighbor out jaguar wants too much money for this simple brake job, by the way the rear was way more involved . Thank you for this video

Thanks for the video and all of the comments/feedback. This will be extremely helpful and essential to me, for I am replacing the front brakes on my wifes Jaguar F-Pace! 👏🏾

Great video - looks like I'm the first to comment. I'm in New Zealand and bought some suspension parts for my 2004 XKR from you guys around 2 years back. I found you to be a lot cheaper than trying to source parts here in NZ, you'd be quite surprised by the prices we're forced to pay here actually I think. Even including international shipping your prices were still much cheaper. I can't recommend your company enough! 👌👍

Thank you so much for this excellent video. I have a Range Rover Velar D300 V6 and the parts and process are identical to your Jaguar F-Pace. I followed your instructions step by step with my iPad propped up in my garage while the front our car was on a pair of axle stands. A couple of thoughts which may be helpful for others…. Firstly, my brake pad wear sensor came with the little clip already installed. I only realised this when I struggled to get it inserted because I had also slid the old clip on top of it. Oops! So, best to check whether your parts supplier gives you a sensor with or without the clip. Second, I see you’re using copper slip. My pads and discs are from Bosch and they state that copper slip / copper grease should not be used as it conducts and can interfere with the ABS sensor, plus a few other reasons. Bosch have their own alternative but I hadn’t ordered it. Instead, my local specialist car parts supplier had some ceramic grease which is suitable for cars with ABS sensors and can withstand very high operating temperatures. The front bolts for the callipers are 21mm, as you say. My set only reaches 19mm but my workaround was to use the 21mm socket for the wheel bolts on the end of my torque wrench. There’s plenty of space behind the assembly because one can turn the wheel hub to make access easier. Not ideal but it worked, although I’ll be investing in some extra bits for my toolkit for next time. Anyway, thank you so much. I am half way through the job with just the rear pair to do now. The standard franchise dealer fixed price for all four pads and discs is just under £1,300 at a Land Rover garage. The parts, including some carbide HSS metal drill bits needed to drill out the shaft of a stubborn torx screw on one of the old discs means my total investment in parts has been £550. That’s not cheap, (using Bosch parts sourced online though AutoDoc) but a big saving on the dealer prices (and the standard JLR discs, whilst even more expensive are truly rubbish because they suffer rampant corrosion even when just they hear the BBC weather forecast of rain on its way!). These cars are lovely but they ain’t cheap to run. I pay for the JLR official extended warranty which protects me from component failures but not wear and tear consumables like brakes etc. I am very grateful to you all at Rimmer Brothers - thank you again.

Thanks for the great video. Great angles of the camera, so watching without audio was no problem.

Good liked

Thanks for the video. Cheeky of jag to use 11mil hex knowing the average person won’t have that size. Do you know if it’s the same method for the 3.0 s f pace think the callipers on the left of the front wheel on them?

Thanks for this great video. On the video for the rear brakes, Hans shows how to put the parking brake into maintenance mode. Should this be done for the front brakes as well?

HELLO, what size alen socket for the front caliper

Is there a difference between diesel and petrol vehicle pads, and if so, is the operation in any way different?

Is it necessary to replace the disks also when replacing the pads on the jaguar F pace?

You didn’t show how to decompress the break so once the pad comes off the break hub doesn’t push out
