Want my w108 for $1000?
BrassMonkey: What does the grinding sound like? Does it get louder with faster speeds? I am going through this right now with my Jeep. I already know what's wrong. My brake disc dust shields are rubbing my rotors up front (both sides). Did you check this out first? It's often simple stuff!
I woke my 108 from the dead. It's now in hibernation. It starts & runs* & moves**, but needs a bit of work to be roadworthy. I am most likely going to part it out soon to get it out of the parents' hair. I could make a laundry list of stuff I replaced to wake it, work I did, and stuff it still needed when I parked it.
* With fresh 93 octane as opposed to the stale crap in the tank now.
** Due to a ruptured brake line, it moves, but doesn't stop so well.
