Re: [MBZ] 240D roars at 65
That's what I thought, but figured that maybe it had a clutch and had been frozen for a long time since it was my wifes car and she only drove it around town. I looked at it a while ago and it looked like there could be a clutch under the fan blade casting, but I guess not. I'll check to see if it's missing a blade or part of a blade.

Re: [MBZ] 240D roars at 65
It doesn't have one; has a fixed plastic fan blade. This one was special ordered to buyer specs and picked up in Germany which might account for the plastic fan blade.

Re: [MBZ] 240D roars at 65
This one didn't hum, but it was tolerable before. It sorta reminds me of a car with the old straight pipe glass-pack mufflers that could roar pretty well with the engine revving. Remember those? Gerry From: "WILTON" Mine hummed at 65, 70, etc; that's why I called it a hummer - before there were military HMV's.
