Hi Gurus, I have an MY03 Aero with 90,000 miles. The auto box has been clunking badly from Neutral to Drive. The gear change is quite good between 1 & 5 on auto or paddle shift. However, the N -> D change is terrible. I've had the box flushed and re-filled with ATF3309 a couple of times, and...

This info doesn't appear to be on this board.... But i sucessfully fitted a 16v (150bhp) turbo to my 8v (120) engine. You have to swap the exhaust housings. You cannot swap the compressor housings, as the 16v has a bigger wheel. There is a slight problem, as the compressor housing on the 16v...

I have a 2007 Vector Sport (Anniversary Model) complete with built-in Bluetooth. My problem is having recently renewed my mobile to an LG Viewty I don't appear to be able to access the phonebook? My previous mobile a Motorola Rokr E1 worked no problem? I have done a bit of reading on this...

I have a 1997 Saab 9000 2.3 (B234 engine), but the gearbox is faulty. I now have an opportunity to acquire a 2002 Saab 9-5 2.3 (B235 engine) but this motor has blown. My question is whether I can use my existing B234 engine to replace the faulty B235 engine, and whether any major mounting...

I may need to replace my tailgate gas struts soon as they are feeling a bit weak - although this may just be the cold. Just a quick question - do any other Saabs (900, 95 Estate) share the same struts or are they specific to the 9000? Thanks Bertie

I have a 1990 9000 CD and the doors are getting rusty. One door in particular was repaired by a previous owner but the rust has come through. So I am thinking of replacing the doors. Later model year doors may be easier to find and are likely to be in better condition than early doors. I also...

tcs or not how compatible are the two??

Hi All, Not been on the site for a while. I was at a meet a few years ago, complimented on how quick my Abbottised 9000 2.3T was !! Unfortunately it needs to go to a DIY'er to get it MOT'd and some TLC , so have to let it go for spares or repair (good turbo, still quick etc...) Will be...

Guys, The head gasket on my '95 9000 LPT has just gone again. So much for the 'Head Saver Plate' fitted after the last skim job. My question is, since the motor has just turned 240k miles I think it may be false ecomony to spend a lot of cash on it. However it was going pretty well and I...

Can anyone tell me if a set of 17''/18'' wheels designed for fitting to a classic 9-3 can also be used for a 9-3SS ?? Saw some tasty wheels today.. but want to prolong my investment, so I can use the same wheels from my old car on my future purchase.

Can anyone tell me if there are any aftermarket CD changers compatible with the 9-5 system other than getting it form a main dealer as they want £380 + fitting.
