4 year old saab 900 with 88,000 miles on the clock requires gearbox replacement at £2400 pounds. According to Saab customer relations this may be normal wear and tear. In 35 years of driving, sometimes hard driving I have never had a gearbox that needed replacement. Saab - never again.

I am sorry to hear this. I have a 5 year old 900XS. It's a bit light on the steering at times, but otherwise running fine.

However, the processor in this computer blew up two hours after I received it, does this mean I should never buy another AMD CPU? (I have another five all working fine)

so "Buyer Beware", parts fail occasionally, stop moaning about it and get on with your life!

I am surprised at the cost. I replaced mine for £800, by getting one with about 9K of use fitted. Is someone cleaning you out?
