  2. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    A while back I posted a thread looking for inspiration where to mount my Parrot.. Finally I got around to making a bracket & mounted it off the side of the dash. The controller is mounted on the consol directly behind the gear stick
  3. New Member Introductions.
    Hi all, I have finally managed to convince myself to buy a Saab. Its a Monte Carlo Yellow 1998 NG 900S 2.3 Auto Convertible with only 54000 km on the clock. Right now its stored in a barn in NZ as I am living in Slovakia, but I am looking forward to going home later this year, in time for...

  7. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I bought my 9-3 Aero Auto Convertible about 6 weeks ago now and to be honest over the past few weeks it's been niggling me to the point where yesterday I very nearly gave in and bought the other thing on my shopping list, an 05 Subaru Outback Auto. The rain's meant the roof's been up...
  8. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Well I finally got the 9-5 Aero I've been promising myself. It's a 2001 model with 109k on the clock. Drives superb and the body is almost perfect. Will hopefully do me for a few years. :fawlty:
  9. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Well last night me mates came round and loaded the Viggen up on the low loader, and its been dropped off at his garage, its having the engine removed this morning, then next week the engine is being stripped down to see the damage. It seemed like this moment would never happen lol.

    here goes:-) this motor is fully loaded and i love it
  11. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Yes, I have finally gone and done it. I 'bit the bullet' have bought an '02 Aero. I can't get over how quick this thing goes, and it is completely standard. Sports seats, metal dash, sunroof, HK stereo. Top condition, tight and unmarked. SWMBO is rather happy as she gets the Estate. Rather...
  12. Saab Forecourt
    Well, after a 2 1/2 week wait the money finally came through. This is what I bought. Driven carefully, when going to work,the Sid shows about 45mpg. Very impressed. Driven hard. OOhhh, doesn't it go fast.
  13. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    After waiting 2 1/2 weeks my 9-5 3.0 Tid Estate has arrived. It is ballistic, god knows what an Aero must be like. Went to work in it this morning, very gently and got 41mpg on SID. Well chuffed. Got a question. When I put the foglights on they hardly shone beyond the front of the bonnet. I hope...
  14. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi All, If any of you remember that I bought a 1999 9-5 Aero Auto Est for the wife with full Saab history that had failed its MOT due to excessive smoke. Well, with the greatly appreciated help through this forum I managed to fix a number of faults. I started with the 2 x engine flush and...
  15. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Just thought I share the great news! After much smoking over many months on start up and when I boot it - Saab Fulham fixed a blocked breather pipe a few months back which greatly improved matters, so one near miss when I though my Turbo/bank balance was broke, then it started happening again...
  16. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Many moons ago (well, around 2004), not long after I discovered Saabscene, I had Eibach suspension fitted to my 1999 2.0 saloon which had been upgraded to 192bhp with the Saab chip. At that time I was running on the original 15" wheels (fun on the corners...not). I then bought some 16" ALU22s...
  17. Saab News
    That headline reads pretty nice, doesn’t it? That’s my dream: to see Saab truly given the vehicles, resources and treatment to make that claim truthfully and boldly. Jan-Ake Jonsson has been speaking to the German pulication, Automobilewoche. Following is my cleaned-up version of the Google...
  18. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Always drive 900's and have never had a gearbox issue even though it seems to be something that is known to fail on the 900. Driving a '92 900S last week and all of a sudden, when I got to town driving, FIRST and SECOND gear had disappeared. If I tried to engage, just as if they're not there...
  19. Saab News
    I know that just about everybody who visits this site on a regular basis would agree with the premise that Saab have been overlooked and underfunded in the last 10-15 years. Some of that is self-inflicted and some of it is the fault of the corporate parent. Whatever the origin, though, it...
