Hi Folks, I have a 54 plate Saab 9-3 Vector Sport. Inside of the doors, steering wheel and on the gear stick surround is (what looks like) some brushed aluminium trim. It looks ok but its a bit aged and oxidized (not rusty though). Is there anything that you would recommend to clean it up...

Hi there First post so please excuse if I'm being thick! Just got a 2006 9-3 estate 1.9 and there is a pipe that runs across the front of the engine (which I think muct be a coolant pipe) which is really badly corroded (almost through). I have searched in vain on the web and various forums and...

Part number is 32025882...this is the proper fixed metal type not the material folding one.Out of my 55 reg wagon but im pretty sure it will fit the facelift model as well.Comes boxed with instructions and securing straps and is in near mint condition having only been used for a short period of...

Saab 9-3 2006 1.9TiD 150 Convertible Hi, the metal coolant rail/hose that you see at the front of the engine is badly corroded and I'm thinking of changing it. I don't have the car with me to see if this one listed on ebay off the Vauxhall equiv engine will fit. Does anyone know please...

Hi folks, My 1996 9000 CSE 3.0 V6 has just passed its MOT with an advisory that the metal fuel pipes are badly corroded. I have had a look and there are a couple of areas of heavy corrosion that give me reason to believe that before too long I will have a fuel leak to content with. Can anyone...

I have an 04 1.8t arc. The steering wheel is ok but I have seen photos of either higher spec models or newer models with metal trim surrounding the steering wheel buttons. My question is are the 'bits ' of metal available anywhere to retro fit? Darren

In various places underbody plastic like wheel arch liners are attached by virtue of a coarse threaded metal peg, welded onto the body, onto which a plastic nut is screwed. At least two of these have broken (rusted) and another one has no plastic nut anymore. Anyone got any bright ideas on...

Hi all, I've got a 93 SS Diesel and have a gremlin that i can't work out, but maybe someone can help. :confused: Theres a metal knocking sound I can hear ( but only if the window is open) and it sounds like a loose or rattling exhaust. At first i thought it was the exhaust knocking against the...

Dear all, My student son has had a minor collision in his '96 Vauxhall Astra (well we all have to start somehere!). Does anyone know of a cheap, cheerful and reliable body repairer in or around Brighton who might be able to sort out some dents and replace a headlight? Doesn't matter if the...

Wanted the silver metal gear surround for a manual 06 9-3

I've recently purchased a used intercooler from someone scrapping a 96-on CSE. The seller forgot to send the metal pipe connecting the intercooler to the throttle body, and he no longer has it. I've asked a few ebay sellers who are breaking cars, and again none seem to have these pipes. So...

Hello, For the last week I have had a whining noise coming from my engine at idle and drive - suspected pulley, however this evening got into the car and started to hear not a whining anymore but a metal chewing loud chiselling noise from the cylinder head. Now I'm not one for optimism when...

Strange one this. The OS rear wheel is down to the metal on both pads, yet the fronts are fine and the NS rear is fine too. All were fitted at the same time, give or take a week or two, as a complete set of discs and pads. I suppose the caliper might be dodgy, but strangely it is the other...

Hi folks, Those lovely folks over at the Volvo Performance Club are arranging a day trip, probably to Fort William and they've invited us. Details here: http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?t=9300 As usual, if you want to go, add your name to the list. 1. Gordy 2. 3. 4. 5.

my 98 9-5 has a metal turbo delivery pipe but most others have a plastic one. Does anyone know why saab changed them and is their a diference between them. i know one is plastic!

Came across this statement and thought it might be of interest. This is only using the heavy caps with the logos on them. The weight repeatedly bends the longer rubber stems and eventually causes them to crack. This could lead to catastrophic failure. Source BMW M5 forum Bad enough the wheel...
