To all Forum members: I have a big shout-out to a very nice senior forum member living here in Arizona. his name is Steve, his forum moniker is Whatsnext.
I read on this brake pad replacement thread, that he said he has replaced his own rotor and pads. My brakes have been squealing like a Semi truck when I pull up to a stop light(embarrassing for sure). I have no ability to change pads and I find no professional people that I trust. So I thought I would write the Steve guy and ask him if he would consider helping me change my pads. he said yes, I had all the materials, pads, sensors, grease, and even brake cleaner. we met at his place. Saturday morning. I agreed to his labor cost and thought it was very fair,
Steve went right to work, I could tell he knew what he was doing, so I was comfortable, he did one wheel at a time as the wheel was off I brought some cleaning products and proceeded to clean the wheels and tires. After 3 hours the job was done impeccably, with no problems, a few bolts were hard to remove but got done. great job,
Thanks, STEVE, this is what the Jaguar forum is all about people helping people.
As I told Steve "silence is golden" and he has made my 2014 F-type golden again, no brake squeal thank god, even crossed my mind to sell it, NO Way I love my car, just call Steve from now on!
Thanks to the powers that be at the Jaguar forum for your tireless work and for helping people come together.
Kind regards to all,
Mitchell

THANK YOU STEVE AND THANK YOU FORUM FOR BRINGING MANY TOGETHER!!

Sincerely, Mitchell

 

Nice post. I’ve met a lot of great people through this forum.

 

Thanks for the kind words Mitchell. It was a great opportunity to meet a forum member and actually put a face to a name. It's good to see another F Type owner in the area.
