I'm new to the forum and this is my first post so thanks for the info and I'm sure I'll be back on with more questions soon

As I wrote previously only Volvo parts cost me £819.

I would be very wary about none Volvo parts….there are some very cheap and nasty discs and pads out there….

I have done the front pads on this and my previous V90 myself, I appreciate that folks tend to shy away from DIY car maintenance nowadays but the front pads are very easy, wheel off, undo two Allen screws, pull caliper away and replace pads. To do both sides takes a very leisurely 45 minutes.

Exactly.

Takes an extra 10 minutes to do the disks - just two more bolts to undo to remove the carrier.

I got it down to an art on my last V60 because it would warp the disks very quickly - I suspect it had calipers that were sticking slightly when hot, but were always OK by the time I'd jacked it up.
