960 / V90 parking brake cable R&R
Hi all,
Well, the DPO of my '96 960 cut the cables for the parking brake when they seized (probably due to lack of use). I need working p-brakes for my safety check (MOT), so it's a must-fix. The stealership quoted me approx. $500 (~250 pounds) for just the parts; I'm guessing it would have been more than twice that for labour. So, having peered into the depths of my wallet, I decided to do the job myself. I used tascaparts.com - for those of you in NA, these guys are fantastic. All OE Volvo-branded parts, and cheapest around. They had everything I needed, shipped to me, in four days. Total cost, ~$150 for all three cables, assorted hardware bits & bobs, new rear pads and p-brake drums. I have just started on the repair; I'll dig out my camera and try to take some snaps as I go. |
