I have to change now a hub carrier which cost £350 + VAT from Volvo and handbrake shoes, springs, cable, etc.
I managed to get one (hub carrier) from scrapyard for £92 delivered which should be here on Monday. The labour from Volvo garage 270 + Vat just for the hub carrier.
My advice here is to not ignore signs of an issue and keep checking your handbrake, otherwise be prepared for a very expensive repair.

My T5 did this after a wash, if H/brake left on after. My current GLT does too. Either take it for a spin directly after washing to 'dry the discs off'. Or (as I now do in our off road parking area & if it's safe) leave the handbrake off & slip it into gear.
