Due to reasons (30$ shipping to norway) to actual buy a fiber optical loop so i could replace the CD unit i figgured well, how hard can it be? So checked around home for some usable junk. I found one of those home stereo optical cables and a small box (aprox 10*10*5 cm). Great! Just what i...

Maybe the Chinese will disagree with the headline, but to me this is solid proof that it’s not always the case that good things take time. The ivory carvings on this BMW have taken three years to complete and yet they look quite ugly in mere seconds!! You can be the “lucky” bidder and walk...

Prompted by a comment by Puplah on today’s snippets post, I just did a little research and some calculations. Team Ethanol are participating in the World Solar Challenge and driving a Saab 9-5 BioPower SportCombi in the alternative fuels category of the event. The question at hand was whether...

All you NEUS types that want to get a first look at the TurboX that you might be queuing up for best make plans for a trip to Boston next month. The Turbo X will be one of the star attractions at the New England Auto Show, which will be held at the Boston Convention and Exhibition Center from...

9000 1997 2.3 lpt auto. What make of turbo please

As my mate think's they have a made a good diffirence to his 96' 1.8 Mondeo (I know I know), he said I should get some, but I'm just not sure, does anyone here think there worth it?.

This just in from Saab Automobile USA. <blockquote> North American Auto Show Debut Saab BioPower 100 Concept Arrives in New York · First production-based turbo engine optimized for pure bioethanol (E100) · 300 hp with greatly reduced CO2 impact · Demonstrates further potential of...

I don't know what it is with my dads cars, I cannot stop throwing up in them! In his 9000 Aero I was sick all over the nice leather and now I have done the same all over the rear seats of his 9-3. I have never done the same in my mum's rubbish Vauxhall Corsa, just my poor dads Saabs. I think it...

Not sure how to ask this but here goes. When I start my car, my heater/air conditioner always comes on. I have to select Off, is there a way for me to turn this [expletive deleted] off. After 2 years of always having to turn it off when I first get in my car is getting a bit frustrating, Id...

I am reading page 245 in my owners manual, and it says that I can make some system adjustments to various things on my car including: level of alarm siren automatic locking of doors/trunk the on-time for the headlights after car is shut off, etc... where can I find out how to make these...

Sadly, it's either that my car is getting noisier, or that I am losing my hearing (more likely), but I now find it difficult to hear the indicator clicking noise whilst it is in operation. Tie this to an indicator stalk that is increasingly likely to stay on without self cancelling (yes I've...

It seems a Renault offer to buy Volvo was rejected by Ford, and as a consequence Renault may now turn their attention in Saab's direction... See here

OK, now I've decided on the car, am starting a new thread about the mods I want to make. My current thinking is: Abbott steering rack clamp TCA poly bushes Rear ARB Speedparts Stage 1 - would do St 2 but exhaust looks quite healthy so will wait for that. EBC front discs & red stuff pads...

Hi Guys, I am curious to know...as mine doesn't... When you switch on the front fog lights should a symbol light up on the dash (similarly to the rear fog lights)? many thanks in advance as always, Nicko

Tyres, size, make etc… Hi all, there is a lot of talk on these pages regarding Tyres, size, make etc… Question, I run with BFG’s 205-55*16, Directional, what pressure would you inflate them to? bearing in mind that the only person in the car most times is myself. I weigh 12 stone by the way...

Oh dear! That last paragraph just about sums up the pathetic attitude GM have towards Saab. Give Saab any old [expletive deleted] from 'elsewhere in the group' and let a Saab design team add 'Swedishness'. If I worked at Trollhattens engineering centre, I'd be livid!!! Is that all they...

Just had a new set fitted yesterday on the 9000 Aero. Car has done 8000 miles and one trackday since they were last changed. It has made a real difference to the performance of my stage 3'd car. Perhaps one of the old plugs was not working properly, but if it is simply a case of their life...

My 93SS TiD used a small amount of oil in the first 3000 miles. Now at 14,000 miles its has not needed topping up at all. In fact it seems to 'make' oil, as my weekly check with engine cold seems to reveal a very slightly increased level, or at the very least, no change over several 1000's of...
