Good Luck with yours Darryl  |
Well, they are
DONE!!!!!!!!!!
Sods law strikes though. My car is a 2006 S60 D5 with 61k on the clock.
Got the rear brakes stripped down and ALL of the shoes were perfect with loads of life left in them and more importantly no signs of delamination.
That made no difference though as i had no intention of spending that time and not fitting the news shoes so in they went.
Handbrake readjusted and all tickety boo.
What gets me is how Volvo can allow a consistently poorly constructed product to be fitted in spite of the number of catastrophic failures????????????
Feeling on a roll i replaced the front pads as i knew they were getting well down and i had a new set on the shelf in the garage.
Not a bad mornings work ,so ready for a well earned cup of tea.
Good luck with yours Neil and hope that it sounds more serious than it actually is but give us an update.
Cheers Darryl
