Well back on topic thanks for the recomendations, Chads Uncle took a look at the issue and I now have it booked in for next saturday to get it fixed.

For those interested the clunking was being made by loose brake pads moving around in the carriers. Due to this the carriers have been worn so its new carriers, brake pads and doing the hoses at the same time as they are getting a bit old. Not sure if the wrong pads were fitted when it last got done or if the carriers were worn and they didnt spot it but either way I'll be taking my volvo to GRN from now on.

No Coffee or Tea (guess it was the teaboys day off) but I did recieve friendly honest service ad would recomend GRN to anyone.

Glad you at least know what's wrong now Stewart, it will be right as rain come next Saturday, people think I'm mad taking my car there on the odd occasion but as you have seen service is worth travelling for.

I think you're mad but not because you take your car there

What car is this for? I have a brand new genuine set of std 850/V70 t5 280 carriers/retainers (whatever you want to call them!) part number 8251126. Just worth a mention as I replaced these for the same issue.

Here's the original thread with more details:

All done and dusted, pads and carriers replaced and no more clucking. Great professional and freindly service they also gave my car the once over and let me know what needs doing in the future. Got to meet Big G as well. I'm a full convert to GRN from now on.

Related to this does anyone know of any other front wishbone rear polybush options other than the superflex ones on partsforvolvo as this will be the next bit of work to be done to the car.

**V70 Graham** · Sunday 21st July 2013, 17:24

Glad your all sorted Stewart, I know that clunking was getting on your nerves.

Always a great feeling when a problem is resolved it stresses me out when mine is making a noise that it shouldn't... Glad to read that you got it sorted Stew

Thread resurrection!!!

Just bought some wheels from BIG G today. Did not know he was part of GRN (I am newish to forum), but I have to say, what a great guy!! I paid for my wheels and he found time to have a chat with me about our cars and what they could do for me. I am sure he had better things to do than talk to me for half an hour, but this is the sort of customer care that goes a long way in my book.
Chad not there which was a shame as I could have done with picking his brain too, but what a good set-up they have there at GRN.
Good work fellas, will see you again soon (even though it is a 3 hour journey!!)
