Forgot to mention.
I sometimes do drive the car very hard but the first two occasions it happened I had not as I had just run in the brakes before we left.
And after the resurface in Holland/Netherlands I drove the same journey back and it started again after about 700km into the 1000km journey.I also never hold my brake at the stop lights and when I brake I do this by pumping the brakes.

Thanks for your input guys, much appreciated!
Ace yes it only happens when I brake and not always…meaning sometimes severe and sometimes not and it is not speed related..meaning it sometimes happens at 80 then after it does not another it happens at 30 and sometimes not.
I should also have mentioned that the wheels have been balanced twice and that they also have been outlined twice.
Also the two times I did the disc change and once had it done while I was in Holland and had no tools etc, at my disposal.
In all occasions I had the wheel bolts torqued down to the recommended 140Nm in a cross pattern as I had a discussion with the mechanic about the required torque needed.I am very aware of this since after a tire change at a cheap tire center the guy who did it apparently used a air hammer and bolted them down as much as he could.
Ofcourse not much later I had a leak tire and could not get the bolts loose..
I actually broke the tire wrench that was supplied with the car.Barney I read about this pad transfer and I broke in the new pads and discs as described by Brembo.

Just wanted to say still working on this.
Fetched a multimeter today and will check this week and will post what I find out.Just wanted to say still working on this.

I am a total zero when it comes to electrics and the last time I “read” an electrical diagram was Many moons ago, but where there is a will there is a way.
(Won’t mention how many years…still like to believe I am 18)Will keep things updated.

I just installed Brembo discs front and back on the Volvo and Brembo pads on the front and Bosch on the rear.
It took a ridiculous amount of force to get the wheel bolts loose and after installing them and torquing them at 80Nm A week later I wanted to take my Alu wheels of again for a respray and again it took much more force.
I suspect that the wheel bolts are seizing with the Alu wheel so I greased the bolts a bit on the thread and where it sits on the wheel with the High temp graphite lubricant.
