    Hi There, I've just spotted the fact that the CV boots on my 1997 9000 CSE are showing signs of perishing. I wouldn't mind but they are less than 3 years old and they were supposed to be OEM quality. They are made by Spidan (GKN). Does anybody else have similar experiences or recommendations...

    Hey all, For a couple of weeks now I've had the message on my SID "Number Plate Bulb Failure". I figured, i'd get round to it at some point. Well Saturday I changed the bulbs over with brand new ones and it didnt work. Checked the fuse, no problems with that... besides other things wouldn't...

  10. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Morning all The rear indicator on my TTID has decided to throw a SID error to say there's a problem. It is intermittent as sometimes the error isn't accompanied by any actual physical problem, while other times I do get a few seconds of fast clicking which then returns to normal. I am assuming...
  11. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Picking up this old thread again. My wife had the car today and called me as the battery lamp came on when she started the car. I told her to drive home anyway (1 hour drive) and all went ok. Later I went out and checked and the lamp did not come on again. But checking the voltage when car was...

    Hi, Everyone, This is my first post here but hopefully, with a new (used) Saab in my driveway I'll be getting to know you all. I'm looking at a '99 9-3 with manual transmission; it's in great cosmetic condition but there is no engagement between engine and wheels at all (the asking price is...
  13. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    I have A 1994 9000 CSE and the speedometer stopped working on the motorway today. How easy is it to replace the sender unit, or could it simply be a loose connection somewhere? I have checked the Haynes Manual but it is a bit vague on the degree of difficulty involved. Thanks in anticipation.

    So everything is great, top on my '04 Arc Convertible is opening and closing fine, and then all of the sudden I go to close it one last time when I get home and my passenger side buckles. I had to manually straighten it by hand to get it into position to lock. It also buckles now when I close...
