    Just your basic 1989 240. All of a sudden im getting a sound when I hit the
    brakes. Its not a metal on metal sound, not your usual brake sqeel sound,
    more like a "shhhht sshhhtt shhhht" sound. sometimes it happens, somtimes it
    doesnt. Been happening more frequently. Doesnt happen when I brake going
    fast, does happen in normal braking speed. I can not feel any brake contact
    or grinding from the brake pedal. any thoughts?

    Peter,
    I've once had the sound you describe, took me ages to find it - on my motor,
    a 740 gl with alloys, it was the centre chromey, stainless trims trying to
    carry on spinning, while the wheels were slowing down, if your wheels have
    the same chromey centres, try taking them off.

    Best wishes, Ken
