  1. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi. I have a 2002 9-5 estate (petrol 2.0) which appears to me to have a lazy start. I've not had a saab for years and years and never a 9-5 - so is seemingly lazy starting a feature ?!:) I think not as generally I get 'service / theft Alarm ' come up on the display which I think is a...
  2. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Lock on r/h rear door is lazy. Always last to lock and sometimes doesn't lock at all. Had door card off and oiled linkages. Plastic pivots ok. What i didn't do was check the voltage. Don't suspect an earth problem as G6/G8/G14 are earths for many other components, all ok. I thought the solenoid...

    Usual plan is lunch at a pub within 20 minutes drive (ie convoy) to the final destination. This year I am trying to see if we park near to the SS Great Britain in Bristols historic docks, then an option of a ferry around the docks or if you wish, or a walk around the dockside (approx 45 minutes...

    Central Locking is slow to operate and sometimes will not lock all of the doors. It usually works if I unlock / lock the doors again. Is this likely to be the central locking solonoid in the drivers door? PS. Is there a knack to getting the key fob open? I've got the Cobra fob - sort of a...

    This is not a rally This is not a trackday. This is not a rolling road. There are no rally plaques. There are no awards. There is no raffle! This is a Saab Lazy Sunday. An opportunity to get together with other Saab enthusiasts (and a few other marques) to talk cars, enjoy Sunday...

    Well the drivers headlight washer has gone wonky again so I guess I'm going to be taking that apart (again) this weekend. Whilst I'm at it (headlight out) I'm going to look at the A/c controller bits as it decompressed in style the other month and the garage says there are no signals from the...

    Hi all, the locking mechanism in one of the rear doors of my '94 9k has become very slow to lock and unlock. I'm assuming it's the motor in that door that's the problem. Has anyone out there any experience of fixing these motors, or am I looking at getting a replacement? Or could it be...

    I know Saab engines tend to be remarkably short on conventional gaskets but can you buy full gasket sets, including say the rubber seal on the inside of the timing chain cover?. I know head gasket sets are no problem but what about the rest? I haven't looked very hard admitedly so is it a Saab...

    Recently, turning the key in the drivers' door will only lock that door. Turning it in the passenger door will centrally lock everything. Conversely, unlocking the passenger door will only unlock that door, whereas unlocking the drivers door will unlock everything. Central locking switch by...

    9000CSE. Cooling fan doesn't kick in until the temp is top side of half way, even if AC is turned on. Consequently, the AC ain't working too good. Where is the sensor switch for the rad fan and is it likely to be the problem? Any other ideas to sort it out most welcome.The rad fan does work but...

    Hi One of my headlight wipers does not always return to rest flat down. It can point any old way which, frankly makes the mad as it spoils the look of the car!!. When I trigger the wipers and dash round the front to look, the other wiper is doing it's job while this one seems to sit and think...
