but have no idea what rotors are or when they need changing etc. can anyone shine mahoosive light on it for me please?
Only problem with DIY replacement of rear brake discs and pads is the resetting of the electronic hand (park) brake. I believe this can be done fairly easily, and no doubt somebody will post on how its done.
Pads and rotors are not too expensive, (even at Jaguar dealers), unless you have the Brembo brakes. Have a look on the internet.

Reason the rears seem to wear out so quickly is that the car as well as the driver uses them ! Lots of manufacturers of high performance cars have eliminated limited-slip differentials, and use the rear brakes to stop wheel spin. They are able to do this by pigg-backing on the anti-lock brake system that can determine if a wheel is slipping.
Some makers have reintroduced LSDs, in fact, I think one of the latest Jaguars has this, but not sure which.
