Evening,
I do not get back to this site very often - Mainly to crib @Bob themes and css for my own site.
On the subject of Police spec pads - These are without doubt the best mod (moneywise) I have did on my T5. Stopping wise and fade wise (as indicated by Andrew earlier) these far outstrip standard Volvo pads, DS2500 (aside from the fact these are outlawed on later models) and Red/Green/Yellow and Blue stuff EBC pads.
A couple of other areas that I did not see noted are:
Erect Headlamp Wipers - Leading to...them not working and intermittent operation of windscreen wipers
Complete Failure of Rear Wiper - Due to corrosion in the nylon collar and siezure of the spindle.
Regards
Jod
