    I've trawled through previous threads but can't find an answer... My 9-3 Aero doesn't have parking sensors. If I bought another bumper strip with sensors in, will I find a loom and plug inside my car to simply plug the sensor lead into? Or is it a mission?

    Hi all, I've joined up as I've just bought a 2005 9-3 Aero 2.0t. Love it so far... 106k miles, FSH, high spec, 6 speed manual and remapped to 250bhp - it's a lot of fun! So far I've just done a bit of minor tinkering which you may notice from the before / after pics below. Looking forward to...

    Hi I have a chance to buy a 2000 95 griffin or a 2005 93 linear which is the better choice they are both the same price I already have a 2003 93 convertible, 1999 2 litre turbo 95 and a 1994 900 v6. I am leaning towards the Griffin as it was Saabs Flagship but the Linear is younger any...

    I'm wondering if anyone has any cheaper solutions .......in the way of price......for supply and fit clutch for my car. I'm told that the parts alone cost £600 and the fit is another £400. Seems damn expensive !

    I have had a new thermostat fitted 3 months back and no problems up to now. The heater is working but is warm air only. When on 23 degrees it isn't that warm. Any ideas what the problem could be ?

    Hey SaabScene, I bought a 2005 9-5 Aero awhile back and I've gradually been getting it ready for regular driving. I know earlier models suffered from oil sludge but this was fixed by 2004-2005. My question is, should I drop the sump to check for sludge even though my Saab has the improved PCV...

    Hey guys!! I have a 2005 9-3 and for the past 2 years, my car has been unable to rev beyond a certain rpm when the fault code of P2176 & P0638 appears, thus it drives at a very slow speed and unable to drive over any steep hills in town. My technician has tried diagnosing the problem but long...
