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

Got a question. When I put the foglights on they hardly shone beyond the front of the bonnet. I hope...

  9. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    So my 2002 9-5 HOT Aero estate was delivered this evening and I've been giving it the once over. Unfortunately, most of the items the dealer agreed to fix before delivering it haven't been sorted, so it's going to have to go back for some work (SID, Park Assist failure, cracked rear light...
