  1. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)

    I quite like my car (it is my first - I might take a couple of pictures to share), and have fixed a few things, some of which include the aircon (regas/hose) and the Idle Air Control valve. Of late I have realised that I have been losing coolant fluid, and have exposed (under pressure) a...
  7. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Love the Viggen - all has been well with only a few minor problems. Used to get really good fuel economy, with a 60MPH cruise easily reaching 47-50mpg. On LPG, used to get around 36-40 mpg at the same speed. Noticed sudden drop to low 30's on petrol - low 20's on LPG. Before I wade in and...

    Hi guys, Picked up a 1996 900S convertible a few months back. Only issue so far *touch wood* is that I'm getting such poor return on fuel. It usually hovers around the 280 mile mark before having to fill up. Today though I noticed it's just about to hit the red light - at around 190 miles. I...

    A mate of mine recently picked one of these up. Goes like absolute stink, it's wickedly fast! As my 9-5 is pretty dead, I wondered if anyone has had any experiences with one of the above Nissans? (Good or bad!). Also, any recommendations on where to pick one up? My budget isn't big - around...
