The car I'm thinking of buying needs new disks and pads. Has anyone tried the Europarts ones and are they OK? How much do Volvo charge for the same bits? Also, where's the best place to get a headlight?

Thanks

Through German + Swedish, a full set of disks and pads (including hand brake shoes) for £200 for a '93 850 t-5 saloon.

Euro Car parts sell ATE brakes and calipers.

These are the same make as Volvo supply.

The orginal parts state - VOLVO - ATE and when you buy from ECP it just states ATE on the part..

You may want to try Mintex pads as well (Only a few quid more)

Disc's are 23 quid each and pads where about 20 quid a pack.

Cheers
