Have a problem with my 93 Aero Convertible manual gearbox, 2001 car, it runs fine then every once in a while it will cough and splutter and throw a great cloud of smoke out of the exhaust and run very rough for 2 or 3 minutes. It did it once last summer and again today, the oil level drops by...

Hi Guys, My door locks are driving me mad, it's both o/s door locks they work mostly fine in the cold weather but as soon as it's warm neither of them will lock and unlock. The rear is worse than the front but being both on the same side it's a right pain when they both won't unlock. I have...

I'd be really grateful if anyone has any ideas on this one. I have a 2005 Saab 9-3 Aero convertible which makes a whine/hum which sounds exactly like a wheel bearing starting to break down but at a specific narrow speed range. It starts at about 40mph is loudest at approx 41mph and is then...

As the title says, I'm in need of a car for 3-4 months as a daily driver for the station run while my company car gets delivered. I've always loved this shape of Saab and why not get one to tie me over and possibly keep it and do a little restro on it and keep it as a summer soft top. I only...

Hi all, I a newbie to the Saab side of things. Being a petrol head for most of my driving years I've decided to settle for something a little more refined and understated hence my thoughts for opting for a 9-3 and an oil burner at that. I've just taken a job while entails a 100 mile daily...

Morning all, I've been having an intermittent problem with my brakes since late last year and wondered if anyone here has experienced a similar problem, or could offer some advice? At any point during driving, the brake pedal begins to stiffen up as if the brake pads are sticking on. You do...

I need some help, my 98 2.3 Aero has a strange fault..... It pulses between 1500 & 1800 rpm at a rate of about once a second. Even when I drive off and am at slightly higher revs you can still feel it pulsing. I assume it can only be the idle control valve or whatever controls it, OR is there...

This is my first post although I've read lots of good stuff on this great forum. I have a year 2000 Saab 93 SE auto (185bhp Eco LPT) with 100k on the clock. Bought it around 6 months ago. Recently passed MOT. What is driving my stress levels through the roof is not knowing whether it's going...

At the moment I am overhauling the 2.0l block. The parts like pistons etc are so expensive. Has anybody tried using close matches for components with any success?

....but this ain't no mellow yellow: <blockquote></blockquote> I heard yesterday that there's going to be a new color for the convertible announced in the spring. This was from a North American source and 100% bullet proof. We've heard just now from Bengt in comments that a new color...

OK, so we finally get some cold weather & my '96 Aero decides to act up. First it springs a leak, which so far looks like the radiator. And now today, with the temperature struggling to get above 0, it decides the heating should stop working I had a problem with my previous 9000CS and had to...

I fitted a new AMM to my 9k and reconnected the battery, which had been on charge. When I went to start it, the windscreen washers and wipers started going, so I had to pull the fuse to stop them. The car, by the way, failed to start. I turned off the immobiliser in case that was the problem...
