Let it snow!
 

Anyone fancy a W124 hearse?

I think digging out the wagon is going to be a little bit more of a challenge than expected!

I would like to revive this old thread and say that as it turns out, now that there is no snow and I can actually work on the car, that the rotor broke into pieces.

This is the last time I buy any replacement parts that aren't suggested by the manufacturer. The brand new "Duralast" parts are junk and I do not plan on purchasing them again.

No doubt you are ecstatic over all the money you saved by not taking it to the dealer or indy.

That and the money that could have been thrown into parts I don't actually need.

I have a 95 w124 and the only times mine ever acted like this was once from bad gas, which worked itself out in a few minutes, and another time when I needed to replace the plugs and coils. It was astonishing how badly the car shook when they started failing! I changed them out and it was back to the good old, "is the car on?" silence.
