Replaced the rear handbrake back plates as these where almost gone and where not holding the brake shoes in place any more. Also replaced the rear discs, pads and shoes at the same time. Cables are still okay. The brake pads, discs and shoes are Volvo parts.

Also replaced the stabilizing rods on all 4 corners.

I left it alone, it looked ok, after cleaning everything up nothing else had leaked, when I removed the carrier plate the core plug fell on the ground
