I'm at a loss with this rear dragging and rubbing noise when cold it's driving me crazy. I can hear a brake squeak too when cold which doesn't go away even if u tap the brake. All these issues go away once warm. I was told that if the Parking brake was electric then it was most definitely on a seperate braking system and hoped that'd be the cause.. I'm aware the diff can be an issue with these cars, would this be a symptom of a failing one? Could I Contact jaguar to see whether it has any main dealer service on file or again would this be confidential. Can I post the reg on any forums to see if anybody recognises it as once theirs? It's been so incredibly well looked after it must have paperwork somewhere? I'll contact dvla to try get their help but I'm pretty sure it'll be fruitless as data protection.

Hi steve, it's had brand new discs and pads and doesn't seem to have any wear on them at all, is there seperate pads like drums that operate as the parking brake or are these the pads u can see through the alloys? Is there anyway to trace the previous keepers as this could be a productive way to gain the service history? kind regards lee

Hi guys, I've recently purchased a late 2003 s type jaguar 3.0. Seems to of been well maintained as looks pretty immaculate and many parts have been replaced, it's certainly been well maintained with a relatively low 132 k miles covered. My issues are as follows. The chap I bought it off has lost all the service history or that's what he told me anyway, he was a lovely guy and honest too so no reason to disbelieve him. Does anybody know how I'd go about attempting to trace this please as logbook no longer gives precious keepers and for the love of god I cannot remember who I purchased it off as travelled 100 miles to get it. Secondly when it's cold first thing in morning I get a rear noise which sounds like an intermittent rubbing and as it makes that noise it feels as though it's braking at the same time, I also get a brake squeak to but as stated only for the first 5-6 miles, then it goes. There is no warning lights on dashboard other than when I press the fob to open the doors, a red brake symbol comes on dash yet goes away as soon as it's started. Do these models have a seperate braking system for the electric parking brake? kind regards lee
