    Hello all, I'm new to the forums here, just purchased an 01/Y Griffin yesterday with 67k on the clock and full Saab dealer service history. I am loving the car and cant fault it at all, but have noticed that on startup from cold the engine sounds a bit rough and noisy which seems to go away...

    Hi all! I own a MY07 9-3 1.8i and I love the car; great handling, sleek lines, good looks. The engine (122 bhp/167 Nm) is smooth and flexible, however it seems to be inefficient under certain circumstances and has a slight ... drawback: No boost. Which brings us to my question: Can I...

    Does any one have the wiring details of the ignition switch and the soft top open/close switch and how to get access to them. I have a mod idea to provide remote opening/closeing of the soft top using a 3 channel wireless keyfob remote kit from Maplin.

    I note from another thread that which was good to read because this noise has been getting on my nerves. Sorry if this has already been dealt with elsewhere, but how do you actually pop it out? I can get the cover off it, but haven't managed to get any further and I'm afraid of causing some...

    But what's the spec difference between a 900 T16 & a 900 T16S is there one? can't seem to find anywhere that explains if there's a difference, if there the same & what the 'S' adds? Thanks in advance for answering a possibly daft question

    Does anyone know what the differences are between the 02-05MY 9-5 aero and the 06 onwards MY 9-5 aero that allows the extra 10bhp? I only ask because if you then tweak it up via Hirsch then the 05 only goes up to 280bhp, but the 06 can reach 300. The only difference to the kits is a fuel...

Anyway they spoke to their main dealers who have said new batches of...
