Hi everybody, just joined due to recently becoming the owner of a lovely V70 D5 late '04, doing a bit of reading up as I like to have a knowledge base for any car that I own.
My shoes are supposed to have been done recently along with cable, though the rear discs need replacing thus Ill be checking em out!
Anyway, my point of posting is one of curiosity, people keep saying Genuine Volvo, which generally makes sense, however, as the genuine shoes keep delaminating that doesn't indicate that they actually are the best! To me it seems worthwhile trying some from another top-end brake manufacturer, such as TRW, Ferodo, ATE, Textar, etc as you know they'll be good quality and perhaps, due to different manufacturing process/materials/etc they might not suffer quite he same fate (corrosion notwithstanding, though some may resist it better still)??
