Hi all, A quick question to which I hope there's a nice answer :o) The battery on my 9000CDE died yesterday leaving me stranded on a busy road, with no option but to tow her 4 miles to a safe location. During the journey there was an increasing smell similar to a frying clutch or brake pads, and then the speedometer stopped working. I've a nagging doubt that this might be the brake bands in the 'box and I've knackered it - what do you think please? Also, for a '93 CDE with not a huge retail value, might it be worth more to break it for spares and then build something silly from the rolling chassis? All experience gratefully rec'd! Cheers, Dave
