Jaguar fixed pricing for cars 3 years and older.

Front pads £195......or £235 with new sensors,
Rear pads £159 ......or £235 with new sensors.

Presumably they can re-use the old sensors provided they are not 'Donald Ducked'

Are sensors even necessary?

If the sensor has lit the light it's donald

Although you might find that the caliper pistons are electronically wound in and you'll need JagTech (or whatever their system is called) for that.  :-\

This isnt VAG tat, you can achieve it on most JLR products with a few switch presses  ;D

You could use the two audio sensors that you have on each side of your head, and when you hear the grinding noise it's time for new pads.  :y

It's only a £30k car after all!  :)

The spotty yoof who takes it for a 'road test' will wrap it round a tree at 120mph?

I took my Dad's Sierra to my local Kwikshit for an exhaust.

They spun the rear wheels across the carpark, through the workshop and onto the ramp.

The manager had nothing to say when I laid into him in front of the full waiting area.

Suffice to say he very carefully backed it out a couple of minutes later. Kuntz.

I took a zafira in for an MOT. While I was waiting for the missus to pick me up, I saw a yoof drive it down the road. I know it's only a zafira, but I was still peed off, so I asked the manager where he'd gone. 'For the parts for your car'. Yeah, right. I waited till he turned up with the bacon sarnies and took my keys back. Kuntz.

oppswit Jaguar Dealer - Lancaster Milton Keynes - took mine out for lunch, delaying me by an hour waiting for them to get back when I went to pick it up.

I don't understand how they think that's a good idea ???

If something happens then they're not insured, the car's not insured and throw a dose of TWOC into it and there's the whole unemployment situation and dealer reputation damage... Not to mention fixing/replacing the car and all the hassle that goes with that.
