I talk to her all the time and tell her to "hang in there" and "keep being a good girl" The only things I can think of that can happen next are the transmission (I will pay someone in the OC , Ca. area to change these out due to no garage or tools for this job if interested), A/C, Smog Pump, Power Steering Pump, or computer going out. I have a rattle noise from the rear tire area happening when I go over bumps but can't feel or see anything that is loose. I get a lot of compliments on the body and paint job. Here she is...


Flex discs? They are pretty simple and not too spendy. Figure a high mile FWD car needed CV axles or a high mile RWD needing u-joints.

PS pump is super easy to reseal. The kit is about $4.

A/C compressor on the M103 is a good design, just do not run it with no oil and it will live for years and years.

Check the shocks and sway bar links if it came with a rear bar... not sure if the 300E did or not.
