May be the air comp pump? Does it go away after 20 30 sec. If it does this when the car is no moving listen out for it, the pump is in the lower front right hand side of the wheel arch/ bumper.

vibration on s500l

thanx mate will look into that also i,ve noticed that the ec button stayed on all time and i couldn,t turn it off.would that contribute to this problem?

the ec light on is more then lightly the "thamosate" (so misspelt). It's quite common for them to fail. Try going to quickfit for the £40 regas, then you will have to go and get the fault wiped on the star. if that does not fix it it's about £80 for the "thamosate"

Have a look at this site http://clubmb.darkbb.com/index.htm one of the members has for sale a pump and relay switch, it's an orig merc part. You should also change the bracket that holds it as that may well be rusted, it's around 30 pounds extra but make sense.
