This electrical speed connection from the gearbox sender to the ECU had a small pin hole in its insulation allowing ingress of moisture leading to corrosion and eventual failure.

We had a 2005 Mercedes C Class in with a noisy front brake problem. Visually the pads were worn but still looked OK. After the pads were removed for further inspection the left hand side pair was as detailed in the pictures above.    As you can see here the brake pad material has broken away from its backing plate and the only item stopping it from being ejected was the wear indicator. A bit worrying !!!
