RE: Loud brakes
Oh i'm sorry, I expected to get an intelligent response! LOL
Of course there is no visable damage or wear to the rotors or pads. All the rotors and pads were replaced about 3000 mi. ago by Jaguar just before I bought the car. The last time that I took it in I was told that there was still about 80% left on the pads but that they were slightly glazed. It's like their not releasing all the way and sometimes they stick to the rotors. I'm taking it back in next week to have it looked at again.
Any similar experiences?

RE: Loud brakes
It's commom that one or both of your calipers are not releasing properly causing them to squeel like a raped ape.
This will no doubt casue premature wear...I would get it looked at or if you're handy with tools and know your way round brakes should be an easy fix. The caliper has two sliding shafts that permit the entire piston to slide back and forth. They need to be removed, cleaned, lubed and re-installed. This will hopfully stop your squeaking.
While your at it check for wear....it's common also that once the sliding shaft gets jammed up, the brakes tend to get a "wedge" wear pattern. No good...so you'll need to replace the pads....
Could save you $$$$ if you do it yourself...

RE: Loud brakes
One of my front calipers froze and the car would'nt move so I had to have it towed to the dealer. They are replacing one caliper, both rotors and pads on both sides. everythings is covered by select edition except the labor for the side that wasn't damaged so I'm getting everything for 157.00.
