Hi Guys
It's been a while for sure, I have only in the last 2 weeks actually got the Volvo at mine to start on the front brakes. The fronts were pretty much seized and took a bit to extract the pistons out. The pistons weren't too bad even after cleaning them up, I could see minute pitting so ordered a new set of caliper repair kits including the pistons. Luckily the calipers were unmarked. I have fitted the right front but now are having trouble buying the right front brake pads (last owner fitted new disc's all round and new rear pads but not the front pads ) A set arrived which were supposed to be for the 240/260 series which were too small, I did think they may have sent me rears but they're too big for the rear calipers.
Does any one know if the 262c front pads are different?
I have also bought new injectors but haven't fitted them yet.
Many thanks

Pete
