Craig,

I renewed the pads and discs all round on my T5 recently. I went through Eurocarparts who have a good web site and got all the parts for less than half what I'd have paid at Volvo. The pads were made by Textar and the discs original equipment.

The only thing I would say is that after fitting the rear pads I could not get rid of an annoying rear brake squeel until I fitted shims which I obtained from Volvo at about £7. Otherwise I am completely satisfied with the parts I got.

Good luck.
