Thanks Joe

Thanks for your reply, Joe. I agree that the discs are the prime suspect for the steering wheel shake when braking even though they've only been on the car for a few weeks. I was just wondering if there could be any other underlying faults/misalignments with the wheels or front assembly in general that could cause rapid uneven disc wear, As it is, I will have to get the vehicle looked at and my guess is that they'll say that the discs are knack'd. If so, I might not be surprised to have to replace them in a few weeks, perhaps on an endless cycle.

If I do face a disc replacement, should I go for genuine Jag parts?

Bought a 2009 XF 3.0 premium luxury in September. There was steering some wheel shake around 50 mph and indie dealer had the wheels balanced. Shake disappeared to reveal steering wheel shake happening on braking, most evident on light braking, Indie dealer had the front discs and pads replaced. Car behaviour excellent for a couple of weeks but the wheel shake on braking has gradually come back, now evident on light and heavy braking.

Has anyone any thoughts on what, if any, underlying reason there might be for this? I doubt I could ask the dealer who sold it to me to go any further. Incidentally, I'm not a manic driver but quite moderate on go and stop pedals.
