I Have a 1992 960 3 litre auto estate, brakes have been failing and started to grind voilently which sounded like pads against disks, but on inspection pads and disks were ok.
this continued for a couple of weeks with smash loads of noise,, until THE DAY!!

Do you have brakes now?

I had a 960 about a month ago that the rear E-brake shoes did the same thing. You will have to remove the REAR rotor to inspect the rear E-brake shoes.
