Hi Louis, not pointless at all. Always great to see people tackle jobs such as brakes on their own F-Types. You also jogged my memory for the maintenance mode for replacement etc. At my last service I was told that the brake pads were at 50% with a looming MOT, I just said, ok it should pass then!! No advisory either! except tyres, as usual!.
Good video. I just did my V6 FType brake pads at 30kmiles. Two thoughts. My front brake pads wore quicker than my rears. I also opted to have my rotors “recut” or “turned” which was about 50 USD per rotor. Jag allows for 2mm of wear before the rotors are inadequate for use.

Yeah easy job really no caliper rewind needed, I'm thinking of upgrading the pads surely those groves means there's less contact area

Mines at 30k the fronts look fine, difficult to measure the wear on the disc with the lip in the way
Are you not aware that front brakes do 90% of the work stopping the car? That's why your front pads wore faster, it's perfectly normal.
This service mode thing, scares me. I have a 2017 F type base model. I dont plan on replacing the discs, just pads. Is it still necessary?
Yes you have to retract the pads, nothing to worry about easy peasy I still haven't replaced these
