I have noticed a dull drone/whirring. It comes and goes like something is rotating. Generally it can only be heard when the car is stationary or moving a low speed. I've tracked it down to the fan!

Switch it off and the noise goes. and the noise is only there on the lowest setting. So obviously there is some wear in the bearing. Is this a cheap or easily serviceable/replaceable part ?

Changed the one on my E46 and it came as a complete unit, slide out/slide in (oo err missus) for round 120 quids
