If so, that would put the Brembo kit at over £235 without discount - can that be right?? I just looked on line - https://www.eurocarparts.com/volvo-parts.html and found Brembo discs and pads for XC90 - £188 This is interesting too https://www.brembo.com/en/company/ne...ognizing-fakes Cheers Dave Last edited by Harley Dave; Jul 28th, 2021 at 01:36.

I’ve taken a punt on some eBay XC front discs and pads for £175 delivered from a Volvo parts supplier
Worth hunting around |

Are disks and pads a pretty straight forward job. I'm competent with spanners lol but not keen on bleeding brake fluid or electrics.

Yeah, its a straight forward job really. You only need to bleed the brakes if the pedal feels spongy or you plan on replacing the brake fluid because its not the colour its supposed to be. If I was replacing discs & pads all around, I'd bleed the brakes. As I'm only doing the front, I don't need to because I've already done the bleeding in the past & the brake fluid is still very clean.

As I can’t do the bearing myself (no press), I’m bringing it to a garage. They’re also going to replace the existing brake discs with genuine Volvo ones (existing are warped/juddering when braking from high speed). The existing pads have loads of meat left on them, so they can be used on the new discs instead of buying a new set. It made sense for them to do the brakes & wheel bearing at the same time, plus labour rates are reasonable.
