Firstly, I would like to thank EVERYONE who has helped me to this point. I have enjoyed owning and working on this Beast (1990 245 Wagon).

This morning I noticed that the Starter or Solenoid was sticking (kept hearing something after the engine was running.) Would hear it occasionally but today it did it three times in a row. Sounded like a light grinding sound for about 1 second after the engine started.

Secondly, I was driving in an alleyway (to my garage) and heard a faint sound from the right rear of the car (had to roll down the windows.) I know what a bad Seal sounds like (had a volkswagon with one). This sounds more like dirty brakes, except the brake pedal is not being depressed. It is a screaching sound...Very faint. Not all the time. It seems after the car gets warmed up (driving a few miles) the sound is not present.

What am I in for now? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Todd :-)
