RE: Squeeky brakes
I have/had the same problem. My Jag Tech told me to go out on the highway, and go through a few hard braking sessions.
He used a bus analogy that went something like this. "... the reason you hear brakes squealing on bus... the brakes are designed for their best performance, and when you drive in normal traffic you rarely are required to use the brakes to their full potential. So brake dust builds up, and that what causes the squealing..."
Anyway, he suggested a few very hard braking sessions to remove all of the debris that had accumulated, and it seemed to have worked.
Good luck!

Do you know what brand of pad they used? Brakes should not make noise.

RE: Squeeky brakes
My brakes squeak as well on my 2001 s-type 4.0 I am looking into CQUENCE brakes on ebay. They include 6 brake pads and 4 cross-drilled rotors for REAL cheap.The "squeak" drives me crazy as well. But most of the time I have have my windows up in the summer with the A/C on and in the winter I will keep the windows upand turn the heat on. Plus I listen tomy music very loud andyou can barely hear them squeak.

RE: Squeeky brakes
We've had complaints from the Mintex brands. I have the OEM pads for $106.70 and ceramic for $109.21. It's one of those, go with a known brand and you will be safe. Lot's of shops like to go with the less expensive and up their margin. You can't blame them really, but don't buy into this "all Jaguar brakes do that." It's just not true.

God I hope not! When it is time for the rear brakes I'm going to change the rotors and I will change the front pads again... Hopefully to something that won't squeek on me. It's embarrassing to have a Jaguar that goes Eeeeeee when you pull up to the light.

RE: Squeeky brakes
I could understand a little noise from STR brakes, mine make a bit of squeak right before i come to a complete stop but that expected from high performance pads and rotors. I would not think your 4.2L brakes would do that. dust build up in between the rotor and pad is def. a possibility, however a better possibility is that you had new pads installed and im guessing they didnt turn the rotors. this causes a mis match because the old pads had made groves or seats in those rotors and the new pads are not contacting them right causing a really light shuttering thats not felt but makes a squeaking noise.
