Wheel vibration
Since I had an MOT (the car not me) and had new tyres fitted I notice a vibration when braking. It passed the MOT but they mentioned that the discs were worn and pitted. They were worn and pitted before the MOT and I didn't notice any vibration then so could it be something else? As a matter of interest how much does it cost for new discs fitted? Not at a Volvo garage though.
Thanks Brian

Where did they fit the tyres front or rear ?
did they ballance them,, if not go back and give them a bolloxing and twice if they use "knock on" weights on an alloy wheel, you can get the disks and pads online, depends What size you need 278mm 300mm 320mm and pads to suit prices range from "thats cheap" for the really crap ones to "no i only want pads and disks not 4 cars" for volvo ones,,

The tyres were fitted front and back. My experience with out of balance tyres is that when you get to a certain speed they vibrate. Mine don't do that, only when braking. Are you suggesting to buy the discs online and fit them myself? Or, buy them on line and get a garage to fit them. In the olden days I would have no problem fitting them but am getting too old now. Thanks for your reply by the way.
Thanks Brian

when you find the size of your disks and the pads to match, certainly buy online and get them fitted at a trusted garage if thats a cheaper alternative The pads/disks really aren't That much of a back ache to change try https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/volvopartstrade for pads/disks , if you supply them the reg number in a message they will confirm which size fits your V50 they are gen volvo parts, for my v50 , i can get a set of gen volvo ones With pads far cheaper than some aftermarket makes if its only vibrating when you apply the brakes, it does point to warped pads, or perhaps when they refitted the wheels there's something out of alignment, (but not That likely)

Overtightening the wheel nuts, or uneven torque can cause problems like this.

OK chaps, thanks for your answers. I must have a good think about this.
