Been a while now just short of 173000 and going to get front disks changed on the 31st and possibly brake fluid at my Volvo Independent. I am getting a slight judder like the disk is warped and cant be doing with it.

It looks like the answer to your initial "how far do i go" question is.... all the way

Yes the engine is superb the bilsteins B6 on the back give in my opinion a very nice ride would like to get some on the front but out of budget at the minute. For the money I dont think there is a better car. My aim is to keep till I scrap it but who what the future brings. I did think this thread would help people decide if they want to follow my path they can be expensive ie this one had a clutch dmf kit fitted before I bought it. Still put quite a bit of money in to get it right.

Picked car up today brakes perfect, front brakes and pads plus one new caliper and flexi-hose replaced and asked the mechanic to look at indicator front passenger side intermittent when it rained bulb socket replaced.

just had to have other front caliper replaced so if one goes other isnt far off started sticking due to car not being used due to lockdown. Still enjoy driving car

Meets like that are for everyone.

How much does your caravan weigh? I assume the axle has electric brakes?

Over here (No. America) the newest game is to confess the age of your trailer tires.
