Had to take the 8 in the shop already.
 
Took her in yesterday. I'd been meaning to do it b/c my ambient temp sensor had been giving me readings like 130 at midnight, but Tuesday a bigger problem arised, I was driving to my fiance's house and all of a sudden I heard the worse sound imaginable, metal on metal grinding. I need a new rotor for the rear and an inner pad for the front right brake. Hopefully this is the last problem with the car for awhile as I truly love it and like a fine wine is only getting better with age. On a side night it gave me a good excuse to go ask for the m flash finally.

I forgot to add the car is at 5300 miles right now. Just for reference.

I was in an accident back in may and that caused the amb temp problem, the grinding noise I'm not sure, I'd had the car back a few weeks since that accident so who knows since it just popped up out of the blue. Good news is they said they'd put a rush on the parts and try to have it done by Friday since I'm leaving town on Saturday.

Whew, when you first wrote "rotor" I thought your problems were much worse.......

Good luck with the fixes
