My indicator light hasn't come on yet, but my pads have been flagged at my service last week for replacement. My dilemma is, I would like to change them out for the low dust ones like the EBC 'Red Stuff' ceramic ones..
Ordinarily, you would think that wouldn't be a problem but I live in Dubai, and trying to get anybody to commit here without me giving them double super secret conformation that they are indeed the "EXACT' right thing before they will let me order them (in case they have to be returned), and therein lies my problem.
I have a lovely little base, 2014 3.0 in Iridium Silver, 19" "propeller" wheels, nothing super special about it (apart from the fact that is is already special as it is) and I would if possible like a bit of help in making sure that I order the right pads for my car.
I will be ordering them from the UK or the States, but my car is a GCC (UAE) spec car, I take it (hope) there is not a huge amount of differences??

See this page: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=EBC+redst uff+Jaguar+F-Type+base&_sacat=6000
You want the first two listings, DP32191C for the front and DP32190C for the rear.
That is assuming you have the standard F-Type Base brakes, 355 mm front and 326 mm rear, check the OP's pics to see if yours look the same.
You really only need to check the fronts, if they are the 355 mm then the rears *must* be the 326 mm, as no F-Type ever left the factory with 355 mm fronts and 376 mm rears.

Edit - the eBay Motors link I posted has gone haywire, so instead you should bring up eBay Motors and simple search under DP32191C and DP32190C.

Yer on!
I would bet real money it is the rear pads as in my experience and research the Jag rears wear twice as fast as the fronts.
Except that I note in one of the OPs pics the outer "face" of the rear brake pad looks almost new it is so clean, so maybe the rear pads were renewed not long ago?

The front pads are much larger and have much more material to give. Also, in the olden days before ABS, the braking power was proportioned mostly towards the front, causing the front pads to wear out more quickly. With ABS, the braking force of the rear brake pads is more fully utilized causing them to wear out more quickly than in the past. The rear pads on my mini do indeed wear out more quickly than the front. Also, when I replaced the pads during the Wortec installation, the rear pads did indeed look like they had more wear, but I don’t know what the new pad depth was, so I can’t confirm.

All Jags since around 2008 have had "anti-dive" built into the braking system.
Under medium and above brake pedal pressure this applies the rear brakes fractionally earlier and a bit harder than the front brakes.
Also I find that the handbrake/parking brake/emergency brake release sometimes causes the rear pads to "groan" a little, whether I manually release or allow the car to auto release.
These two things plus the stock soft rotors and pads cause the rear brakes on Jags (both pads and rotors) to wear fairly quickly and in most cases quicker than the front brakes.

Yep, seems you are correct, DP321189C = front 355 mm and DP32190C = rear 326 mm (both Redstuff).

Assuming you can't or don't want to DIY, is there somewhere else you could take the car to get the brake pads replaced?
A reputable brake/suspension shop?
Also, if you get it done at the dealership they will probably insist on supplying and fitting OEM brake pads and refuse to fit EBC Redstuff pads.
As you know the OEM pads are incredibly dusty but by all reports the EBC Redstuff pads are very low dust so you really should go with them if you can.

That is a complete rip-off!

I will sometimes source parts myself and ask a dealer to fit them, occasionally there is reluctance on part of dealer to do so. I adopt this approach for one or two reasons, one I want a specific manufacturer part. The other reason is whilst I accept dealers wish to make a profit on the labour charge and the parts supplied and I am fine with this, what I won't accept is being charged more for parts than I can purchase the same item for without the benefit of trade discount or multiple item discounts.
When I have asked dealers to fit parts I have supplied their initial reluctance has vanished when I explain the option is to make money on the labour charge only or don't get my business as I will go elsewhere
