At 162K miles my money is on the wheel bearing. You'll know for sure in a few more weeks as Spring is around the corner and I'm sure you'll be swapping out those winter shoes for something a bit more fun.

Firstly thanks again to Taz, for all the effort on this
Second, it's going to before than 2 weeks here in MN before the winter tires can be changed.
Imola balanced the wheels on my 40th late last year, and commented that the front wheel bearing was showing signs of wear at 45k, I was surprised by this as it isn't particularly noisy, going to look at it once it's warm enough to hold wrenches without getting frost bite

FYI - 40AE luggage for sale in France (http://www.leboncoin.fr/accessoires_.../590831532.htm). I've attached a translation of the listing.

FYI - came across this
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/4367446192.html
Not sure if worth the asking price - $34k with 49k miles + not sure if the wheels have been really looked after. Just in case anyone is interested.

About U373 - this car has been for sale since July 2013. I found what I thought was the owner's email address and over the past 8 months sent a few email requests for the car's number, with no reply. The car showed up on Autotrader last week so I thought that I'd try calling the owner to ask. When I did, as I was introducing myself, he interrupted me saying that he hadn't looked at the car's number in a long time and that my asking for the car's number was not his "problem", then he hung up. He's right, it isn't his problem, but I have to say that every person with whom I've ever corresponded about their car's number has met my request enthusiastically, even the dealers. Obviously this guy received my emails but didn't have the courtesy to reply, even to say he preferred not to give the number. I'd have been disappointed but would have understood and at least appreciated the reply. Anyway, I just want to express to all of you how much I appreciate your help when I've contacted you and when you've posted info about cars you've found.
Finally (and sorry for the long post), our German friend David (40_Jahre_911 here on RL and DPA_911 on pff.de) has spent countless hours putting together a website dedicated to the 40AEs. I've been working with him and we hope that it will be up and running soon. He or I will post here when it's ready and I'll email those whose email addresses I have. It's really a nice tribute to our wonderful cars.
Stay tuned, and, again, thanks for your support of the registry project.

Seeing double
Had the pleasure today of spending the afternoon with fellow 40AE owner and RL'er jniemeyer (no. 0773). A brisk ride on the winding roads along the Mississippi River found our two 40AEs stretching their legs after the long rough winter. Despite having seen hundreds of 40AEs in my registry research I've never before seen one other than mine in person. What fun! Enjoy the pics (mine is no. 0711 - plate "40 JAHR").
