F type V8 rear rotor replacement
Hello all! I'm just curious if anyone has replaced the rear rotors on there f type? I'm a diy guy who has done front pads and rotors before on various fords/mazdas .I'm just curious how hard it is to replace the rear rotors on the Jag, and if any special tools are required. I'd appreciate any help, tips, videos, etc. Thank you!

No special tools needed. It's not that hard. The electronic parking brake needs to be put into maintenance mode, and then put back in operational mode when complete, but that's the only unusual part. I got that process here on the forum, but reproducing here for your convenience:
Its a little bit more complicated than just using a caliper piston tool to retract the piston. You need the JLR SDD tool to put it in the maintenance position. IF SDD is not available:
CAUTION: This procedure requires the vehicle in the Park or Neutral position, with the ignition turned ON (the engine must be OFF) and the parking brake system released.
NOTE: This procedure allows the parking brake to be released when removing and installing new rear brake pads or brake discs.
1.Press and hold the parking brake switch in the release position.
2.Wait 2 seconds.
3.Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position.
4.Wait 2 seconds.
5.Turn the ignition Off and back On immediately.
NOTE: An audible noise will be heard to confirm that the parking brake has been released in Service Mode.
6. Release the accelerator pedal and release the parking brake switch to the neutral position.
Deactivation
CAUTIONS: This procedure requires the vehicle in the Park or Neutral position, with the ignition turned ON (the engine must be OFF) and the parking brake system in Service Mode.
Once the rear brake pads or brake discs have been installed, the Service Mode must be cancelled.
1.Press and hold the parking brake switch in the apply position.
2.Wait 2 seconds.
3.Press and hold the accelerator pedal in the wide open throttle position.
4.Wait 2 seconds.
5.Turn the ignition Off and back On immediately.
NOTE: An audible noise will be heard to confirm that the parking brake has been released from the Service Mode.
6.Release the accelerator pedal and release the parking brake switch to the neutral position.

thank you for the info. Do I need the sdd to reset the brake indicator icon if/when it comes on, or to put the vehicle in maintenance mode? Also, can you walk me through the procedure for rear rotor replacement ? I just spoke to the dealer who is pushing me to have them do it, as "every person they have talked to has tried doing them themselves and had to bring the car in within 10 miles." Sounds like bs but I want to make sure .

Maintenance mode is just as described. You could go do it right now with no tools, and then cancel it, just to satisfy yourself that it's that easy.
I got my information from this thread on the Wortec rotors. I've done probably a few hundred brake jobs over the years, so just read through for anything out of the ordinary. The electric parking brake was the only thing special. The spring can be a bit of a pain with just two hands but I managed it for all four wheels. That's described there too.
As for your dealer's comment, it sounds like a scare tactic. That said, if you're not comfortable working on your own brakes it's worth having a pro do it. It sounds like it's not new to you though, and is well within the realm of DIY for someone with reasonable proficiency.

I think if the brake wear light comes on you need to replace the sensor. I think it's left front and right rear.

Unless you're talking about the Wortec 2-piece rotors. In that case, I'd be surprised they're worn out so soon, and would have to refer to Wortec.
