  6. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hello all, I have a 2005 1.9 tid with 98000 on. My MOT is due this month along with a service. I was wondering other than the obvious filters and oil change, what else would a garage do as part of a service to warrant a £250 -£300 price tag when a service kit can be bought from neos...
  7. Saab Recommendations
    Just wanted to say I can highly recommend P&P Saab Sales in Berkshire, the chap is called Ian and sourced me exactly what I was after and also all cars are serviced (including sump removal and clean) but DCA who are also highly recommended.
  8. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi Guys, The 'Key not accepted contact service' is regularly shown now when I try to start the car. A few locking and unlocking presses of the key fob tends to do the trick, but I am concerned that I am beginning to become a little bit too blasé about this issue. Maybe it is only a matter of...
  9. New Member Introductions.
    Having opted out of the UK ratrace and moved to France just a few years ago (try it yourself if you can, it's to be recommended folks !!), I have been looking for a successor to my (absolutely WONDERFUL) Nissan X Trail, which I've had since 2003. Not that there is a thing wrong with the X-er...

  11. Saab Recommendations
    Saab Scene newbie, I'm afraid. Not sure how I missed it having driven a '02 9-5 Aero to the moon and back. Just traded in the old blue 9-5 Aero manual for, guess what, an -09 9-5 Aero manual. Late year manuals being as rare as rocking horse......... teeth, was pleased to find one with low...
  12. Help, Advice, Saabs and Motoring
    Hi. My 9-5 Aero (07) is developing a few problems under the bonnet which I am a bit disappointed about given that it only has 50k on the clock. I bought the car from a car supermarket last October and was offered the option of an extended warranty for about £250 for a year. I thought that as...

    I bought my third SAAB from a dealer last month - have previously had a new Vert I bought in Dec 2004 (which got traded in with some regret after 136k last month) and a 14 month old Dame Edna Estate 2.3t auto in Jan 2008, which is my wife's current car now with 68k on the clock. My experience of...

  15. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Well after having a mail shot and phone call from the local Saab dealer offering free replacement badge for the bonnet and free check of the car (inc Tech2) I thought why not. So off I go down to said dealer for Independence day to be Completely Ignored for the best part of 45 mins and then...
  16. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I have got a MY09 9-3 Vector Sport petrol, it is due for its second service in a couple of weeks time so I thought I would ring around and get some prices. As the car is still under warranty I thought I would see what price the main dealer was charging first. Dealer Number 1 £404 Dealer...

  18. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I have got a good local garage to quote me £250 + VAT for a full service. I'm not sure what that entails but the local Saab specialist which I don't have much confidence in and the main dealer quoted around £450. Quite a difference so I am tempted to go for the cheaper option however I want to...
