Working on them for their entire life ( which goes back to the 140 series in 1969 to when they disappeared from volvo in 2014 ), I have always got them to work effortlessly .. as they were designed to be of course .. Perhaps too many people are using poor quality shoes and neglecting cables these days .. and not bedding the shoes in ... the cars always left me with one click of play and holding nicely on the second click and HARD on with the third click

True, I am still in the process of bedding in, so I'll reserve judgement for now on what the final setting will be, but I still can't see it getting anywhere near 2..
Something must either be wrong (and was already wrong before I did anything) or I dunno, maybe there's variation in the dimensions of the drum side of the disc? cant think of anything else it could be, like I say I've replaced literally everything else. and the adjusters werent fitted before so they can't be to blame for the old settings besides which Im pretty sure i would hit the limit of the front hand lever adjuster before I get to the possibility of 2 click lock. with the adjusters wound right in, and I suspect also with the original spacers. just to clarify though when I say 'locked' i mean resists movement when in Drive. not just on a hill again I'm not saying for a minute that you're wrong, Im trying to work out what would be wrong with mine (working fine, just not as they 'should' be) Last edited by stuart bowes; Apr 6th, 2021 at 22:18. |

Can anyone tell me if the v70 braking system us the same as the xc70? I presume it is. There's loads of v70 videos to follow I just wanted to make sure they are the same

no none of those things are issues, it grips well, I can feel it slowing me down when I pull it
literally the only thing is you said it should lock up at 2 clicks, and mine goes up a lot higher, that's all really Im not just questioning you, I've heard others say the same but I cant remember who or when, it just makes we wonder what's wrong with mine. and then like I say the A1 auto lady said 6 as well so it can't just be me everything is brand new so rust definitely not an issue (old ones were quite brown but not now) it's probably not worth worrying about too much as long as it works I suppose |

not at first, but I wasnt happy with them so I did get genuine. they locked up better without the adjusters so some improvement but not really much other than that
continuing to bed in (only fitted within the last month) but my journeys are short and I only remember every now and then MOT in may, so we'll soon see |

I have never owned a volvo in my life that has had a good handbrake.
If you own a volvo with a handbrake that actually works then I think you should try your luck in the euro millions...
