  1. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Hey Guys Thought I would come along and try and pick your brains. As you can guess from my Username, I am actually a Jap guy by heart. I have a 1992 MR2 Turbo I am in the process of rebuilding and modifying. Before the head gasket went, she was pushing a very healthy 253Bhp from a 2 litre...
  2. Help, Advice, Saabs and Motoring
    Hi, this is my first post on this form having just purchased a 4 year old 9-3 Linear estate. It was previously a lease car and when it was returned, the load space cover was missing. I checked with the dealer and they are happy to supply one for me for £198 +VAT! Does anyone here know where I...
  3. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Last week I had 2 new front tyres fitted to my 05 2.0t 93 Aero Convertable. The load rating on the new tyres is 91W. I got a puncture and another tyre centre said they should be at least a 94 rating (The old ones were 94Y). They said the car was too heavy for the tyres and this could void my...
  4. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    9-3 Vector 150 tdi 2006 Hey, I have a dilemma and need some advice/opinions. I've read loads in this forum about Saab recommending 94 extra load tyres... I find the sporty suspension coupled with Michelin Primacy's extra loads a bit too stiff though - you can feel every dimple in the road...
  5. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Good morning all. My 9-5 Aero is developing an intermittent hesitation/misfire under heavy load. It doesn't always happen, but it's getting more often/worse. It feels normal (so far) under 3000 rpm, or light to medium throttle. It starts and idles perfectly (so far), and no CEL. Anybody else...
  6. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Having had my 2001 9-5 Estate for about 3 weeks now, I wondered how long it would be before the current Mrs E would want to put her dogs in it, instead of using her car. It took until today of course. Now when I had my 9-3, there were some cargo hoops already in the car to which I could fasten...
  7. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi all, my first post here so be gentle! I've got a 9-5 Aero estate, year 2000. It doesnt have a boot load cover/parcel shelf, anyone know where i can pick one up from? i've heard something about a concertina (sp?) version...do they or are they of the roller fabric variety? Thanks

    Can anyone tell me the load rating for 205/55 x R16 Winter tyres. Ian.
  10. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Hi all, I have noticed that when I'm driving under load or just moving along normally. The 11992 t16 has started to judder. When I release the gas pedal the juddering reduces. I have checked all under bonnet hoses and all looks fine with them. Please help as I need to do a motorway run...
  11. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Hi all I am looking at used 9-5 estates (2003-2006). How can I tell if a used car has the Load Compensating Suspension option. Also, is it any good? is it worth trying to get a car with it? If the car I buy doesn't have it, can a dealer fit it? regards Ten

  13. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    My car (2000 9-3 LPT) seems to be juddering and hesitant under medium acceleration, it's very noticable in 3rd and 4th gear at around 3500 rpm but clears up after 4000 rpm. Feels a bit like it's choking or fuel starvation and then it runs fine. Has no issues at idle. Plugs were changed at the...
  14. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Hi New to forum. Hope you can help. I have an intermittent and self-repairing power loss on my 1988 T16 900 Conv (No Lambda or CAT). 90,000 miles. For no apparent reason the engine system will cut all power at speed and usually under load. The engine will continue to tick over, although...
  15. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    I am on my third set of springs and shocks at about 68,000 miles. I have had the rear subframe (aka rear axle) changed once. My ‘03 9-5 Aero Estate cannot handle the loads that Saab claims it can without tire, suspension, and subframe failures. Any significant loading results in sag, camber...
  16. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    I have a 2.0 litre LPT 93, which I have had converted to run on LPG. Absolutely fantastic, but recently the CEL has appeared. I thought it might be something to do with the conversion, but now I'm pretty convinced it isn't. I bought myself a bit of software and a plug to read the CEL codes and...
  17. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi chaps, I have a problem with my Aero that i just can't get to the bottom of Basically, at tickover it has a very slight miss, only slight but its there, i can feel it through the steering wheel and gearstick, but i can't really hear it through the tailpipe, now this miss gets slightly...
  18. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Hi all, First off, I've searched this excellent site for this several times without finding an answer, so I hope I'm not going over old ground here. My problem is that my Abbott modified 9000 Aero has a really, REALLY annoying loud "clonk" from the back axle when going over any sort of...
  19. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    1993 Aero when trying to accelerate harder I'm hearing a "clunking" or "knocking" noise from the engine. It only happens under load, when opening the throttle faster than the car can take it. The best way I can explain it: it sounds EXACTLY like a car with normal ignition and distribuitor when...
  20. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    hi all, I'm in the process of landscaping my garden (been in the process for 18 months now!!) and am going to be transporting some concrete blocks for building a wall. does anyone know what the maximum load weight I can put in my 93ss diesel? Evenly distributed of course. I was looking at...
