    Blower Fan Drone on Merc ML270 (W163)

    Guys, There's a massive drone noise coming from the cabin when the blower is on in the jeep. If I turn the fan speed down, the drone remains. If I turn AC on, the drone goes away. Really annoying. Anybody any experience with this?

    W163 270ML Brake Pad warning light

    Hi I bought a 2003 270ML a few weeks ago and the yellow brake pad has come on and off. It has come on at odd times, once when heavily accelerated and another when the powersteering was at full lock when parking. Does this sound like its the pads or something greater?
