Parts Monster are doing handbrake shoes & fitting kit (genuine Volvo) for £28 delivered - that's a good price & their service is good too:

Much of the 'ineffective handbrake' problem is due to the failure to replace the rear disk/drum at the same time as the shoes for handbrake and disk pads. Although the friction surface of the shoe/pad does wear, the 'black stuff' you see on your alloys is mostly worn brake disk. Although hidden from view the same process is happening in the drum hence they become under size. Corrosion is also a major problem one that is minimized by frequent (6/12 monthly checks. They can only satisfactorily be inspected by dismantling. I have had other makes of car including 5 Fiat models and their handbrake setup and wheel adjusters are excellent. The most difficult to do (for me) were on an Alfa Romeo with the boxter engine. The handbrake operated on the front (inboard) disks but with separate pads. They were so sensative and limited in their action that any runout on the disk would cause them not to work. They had to be setup with a dial guage and measured for adjustment with a feeler guage!
I recently complained to my dealer that the brakes were not working in their normal efficient way and there seemed to be (from the feel when driving) something about the N/S front in particular. Car had an MOT at same time (passed) and I was told the brakes are fine, we found the front N/S wheel studs were loose. Well, the brakes were not fine by me, so I jacked up the front and took off both front wheels. When I looked at the N/S front and compared with the off side the cause was immediately obvious. The pad retaining/floating caliper spring had been incorrectly fitted on the N/S. The spring was in front of the lugs on the caliper bracket they should be behind. Of course once changed brake efficiency is back to normal. In future I shall ALWAYS service my own brakes every time!

Just had my rear brakes replaced as the car was rocking when you released the foot brake after putting the hand brake on.
The car is 56plate 100K example. After removal all was fine with the brake shoes, drum liner was a bit grooved, But got it all replaced now with new shoes, pads and discs as it was only £60! happy days |

Sorry guys,
The pics were lost when the servers changed, and I don't have the originals anymore. If you root through back issues of Driver, they are in print.

Hello fellas. I bought a 57 plate S60 d5 a couple of months ago knowing it needed a full brake overhaul. New discs, pads, handbrake shoes and brake fluid. Rubbed down all the backplates, greased all springs, cables etc. Brakes have been superb since but I have been getting a squeak from the nsr wheel for the past week which is steadily getting worse.
Is this problem likely to be around the shoes (grit, dirt) or the mechanism? Handbrake works fine although there is a small amount of roll when applied. Would like to know what I'm getting into as time is not my greatest friend at this time of year. |

Check if the left rear brake is binding - does it get hot on a short run ?
Does the noise change with very light application of the brake pedal ? If you're sure that's where the noise is coming from, I'd pop the wheel off & inspect.
