Many thanks for the advice/links (to all above). I have gathered pics and info from your various links and will take them into the garage tomorrow to see which it is.

Cheers for your help!

Curiously, I am finding what I THINK is the correct part... but only for the LEFT/nearside. There is not a single mention/picture anywhere of a right-side/offside rear unit. This is called the Rear...

Thanks for the reply Kev. I will start trawling scrapyards but will have to wait until the weekend. I'm concerned about the legality of driving the car in that condition. I was hoping to find a part...

Was driving along on Sunday in my 2006 9-3 1.9 TDi when my SID display went mental. It informed me that ALL of the Rear Right-side lights had failed (tail light, indicator, brake light, reverse...

Cheers, thanks for the info!

Hi, got a guy coming round in a couple of hours to replace windscreen. however, I wasn't sure if my Saab 9-3 2006 1.9 tdi had a windscreen with rain sensor or not. I know I should be aware of this,...

Its a 3-spoke double evo. Getting one via Saabtech. Would have preferred a used one but am in a hurry as going away in car later this week. Will be keeping a very beady eye out for potholes from now...

Sorry- just realised I hadn't acknowledged your reply. Thanks for the info. Will check out those sources. Much appreciated!

Went over very nasty pothole, immediately knew it had caused some damage (unable to stop at time). Next morning, tyre flat. Popped on spare, went to performance tyre place who took tyre off and...

Thanks for that. Will check those out. Cheers!

Over the last few weeks my 2006 9-3 has struggled a bit to fire up in the morning. It will always get there, but makes a bit of a meal of it before the ignition kicks in. I naturally assumed it was a...

Did manage to get hold of them and glad I did. Couldn't do enough to help. Had interim service and they also read engine codes etc. Unbelievably thorough, lots of useful pointers & recommendations. A...

Thanks again for the advice. Its due a service (intermediate) so I've booked it in and will get fault code checked by independent. Car drove fine to and from work today, revs were fine and felt...

Thanks guys. If it has gone into 'Limp Home' mode, should this be displayed on the SID? The Malfunction light is still on but there is no information displayed and the car appears to be driving...

The engine malfunction light came on this afternoon when I started up my 2006 9-3 1.9tdi. Had been driving earlier with no problems. Turned off engine, restarted but it remained on. I have a VERY...

Are they still in business? Have been calling all week, but keep being passed down a very annoying 'call diverted' process to leave answerphone messages, with no reply. Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. Will follow that up. Cheers!

Hi, my fan has recently started to come on full-blast every time I start the car from cold. Only had the car four months, it didn't do this for the first couple of months. There's also a pretty acrid...

Can't help, I'm afraid. Just to say I have exactly the same 'vinegar-like' smell when the air-con comes on. Will be watching to see if you get a response. Does your fan come on on full-blast when you...

sgould: thanks for the advice on local saab servicing. Much appreciated. Also interesting to read your comments on GMs legal requirement to provide parts/spares etc. That puts my mind at rest...

Blimey! I'm taken aback at the speed of replies!
Thanks very much guys- much appreciated.

sgould/raj123: I do about 12,000 miles a year. Not high mileage a year but I'm upgrading from a little...

Hi, first post (of many, I hope).
Having wanted a Saab for the best part of twenty years, I'm finally in a position to buy a used version. I've found an example which meets my spec at Carsite. Its a...
