    My mechanic tells me there are 1100 backorders and no timeframe for the electronic ignition control for my 2003 9-5 Aero (4 cylinder). The mechanic says the part has a crack in it, which sounds ominous, and that "after awhile you'll just have to park it". My suggestion that they cover the crack...

  5. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Things are going to get even tighter now Saab has gone belly-up. Just had to replace one of the rear lamp clusters because the LEDs (?) had failed. The part is over £200 (!) and apparently I got the "last one in the UK". Are all cars going this way, where you can no longer simply replace an...

    In some news that’ll likely rub a little more salt into American diesel wounds, Saab in the UK have announced just a few days ago that they’re going to expand the availability of the excellent new TTiD engine. On release just a short time ago, the TTiD was only available in Aero spec. The...

    In following up on a story from last week onE-85 Availability in the United States, I have recently found out that Saab Automobile of the United Kingdom have recently created a ‘fact & fiction’ guide to BioEthanol as well as a website that shows that aims to educate consumers about Ethanol while...

  13. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi all, There I was spotting a bit of rust on the screen pillar of the CSE, so I thought I'd tidy it up (you may recall that the screen leaked a bit at the top anyway. As the sealing trim was rather untidy after my attempts to seal the leak, I decided to pull it off completely to clean up the...
  14. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Well more tales of woe from Project Saab. After discovering that the latest tune on the radio was not in fact sampling metal grinding I discovered that i was in need of some new front pads. After a speedy change in the local car park out side the car shop (much to the amusment of any customers...
  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Reading over some of the posts on this BB, I've noticed some users mentioning the lack of available unleaded fuels with an octane rating higher than 95. Being from the states, the highest octane you can find at the pumps here (in my area anyway) is 94, which is carried by Sunoco and the lowest...
