Hi all

I've been trying to find pads and discs for a 2019 Volvo S90 for the past few days and can't seem to find any.
Is there some sort of shortage at the moment?

Have tried all the usual places ECP, CP4L, Halfords, GSF. Even tried Arnold Clark, who surprisingly had the largest selection but only had 1 brake disc left in the size I need.

Can anyone suggest any obvious places I'm not looking?

Thanks for all the suggestions folks.
Been using my reg to find parts but it looks like just searching for make/model/year gets better results.

There are 3/4 different disc sizes for the car so stuff that's showing as in stock generally is the largest size (345mm).
According to volvo my car has the 296mm discs fitted but I am going to measure that as I think they might have told me the wrong size.

Have contacted volvo direct and I'm waiting on them coming back to me with a price.

Had looked at the PFS place a few weeks ago and they had nothing. Thanks for the reminder as it now looks like they have what I need in stock.

I'm getting nothing from ECP. Not a single pad or disc.
That's using the reg and also make/model.
Doesn't seem right.

If you get stuck and need the genuine part numbers I might be able to help, i'd just need the reg number.

Thanks for the offer.
PFS provide the Volvo part numbers so already have them.
Just want to measure my current discs first to make sure I'm getting the correct size.

Not a problem, I can normally find the disc size fitted to the car it from the chassis/reg number. Just shout if you get stuck

Volvo s90 2.0 I’ve done it both petrol and diesel and they look to be the same items and all in stock for pads however 296 discs are out of stock all other sizes in stock.

Never used Apec discs before so a bit wary of them.

Does anyone have any experience with them?

Thanks everyone.

Went with Apec discs from BrakeParts and Bosch pads from EPC.

Should do me fine until the car goes back in a year.
