[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 728504, member: 56140"] My Dad's cousin has 4 Jags. All are problem beasts. That is why he drives his F-150 everywhere. It starts when he turns the key. With that being said, the brakes should be no different than any other car. Start with bleeding the brakes. If you get no air out of the system, but the new fluid is nice and clean, then I would look at the calipers. Are they working properly? How about the slides? Do they move freely? If so, does he see any leaks? Next thing to check is the brake hoses. The rubber flexable lines. Do they look swolen? Any other leaks from rust or anything? Does it have ABS of any kind? the last possible thing could be the master cylinder or maybe the brake booster. I do not know much about Jags. they are nice cars when they run, but they are Brittish built with Brittish reliability. The only worse country that builds cars is France. Tom [/QUOTE]
