If you have no ABS, then replacing seals can be done, but getting a new headcilinder isn't that more expensive.

replacement seals: £70 (95euro)
new head cilinder: £110 (160euro)
salvaged head cilinder £60 (80euro)

If you do have ABS, than you want to replace the seals, because seals are the same as a non ABS cilinder, but a new head cilinder with ABS costs: £215 (305euro)

£11.40 for a seals kit...?

IT's 400 'series'.... Am I missing something?

I think it's the right price.
Probably it's from Scandicar Volvo parts supplier (?)

That is an enourmous difference...

Maybe some parts are missing in comparison to what I looked for.

I'll try to contact my retailer to see what's in the seals kit (probably a new piston...)

I bought a seal kit from volvo for the abs master and that cost me £30GBP

Hmmm...

Looks like £12 for the seals kit then...

How hard is the replacement of the seals.. I'm not going to
find myself needing hydraulic presses or anything am i?

Cheers!

It's a straight forward job. Just remember to put in the cups in the rigt order and facing the right way.

(take a picture of the old piston when you get it out)

if there are scratches in the cilider, then re-honing is neccessary, but most garage's can do this. Or re-hone it yourself with a honing-kit
