    Hi All, I've decided to post rather than update my previous post as it might save someone some time trawling through this forum looking for answers to the problem I was having. A quick recap....fitted a turret repair kit & then had NO GEARS ( Could select gears but when raising the clutch...
  3. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Hi all, After years of driving, i've finally bought myself a 2005 saab 9-3 1.9tid aero ( my first diesel as well!) It was my neighbours car & even though he had LOADS of problems with it....i put it down to him using it as a workhorse..I did my research & bought it off him!!!! I've done a lot...
  4. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    I did the turret repair this morning, longest part was removing the old bush. Anyway it all seemed to go well, put it all back together but not very happy from what I expected. The gear selector feels very stiff and it doesn't feel to have any spring to return back to neutral. Anyone else done...

    Quick Question - My Swirl Flaps have just snapped for the 2nd time in 4 years - go figure. And so I'm wondering - Do I..... a) Replace the inlet manifold AGAIN! at a cost of £170 and my time or b) Do what Ive been meaning to do for a while - i.e. Remove some of the guts from the DPF (as...

  8. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Right, fedup now - in the 3 years I've had my car stones have got stuck in the front brake disc splash guards at least 5 times. At the moment I have another stuck in the n/s front guard and it's making a right noise. I've googled this and it seems a common problem in cars but I've never ever had...

    Hi, Sounds weird but I always like having my phone where it can be viewed for GPS purposes. All to often I see people looking down or to the side and not paying attention. After trying to find a solution due to the way the aircon flaps are designed I opted for an expensive solution. It was a...

    Evening all. Not posted much on here but thought I would share a quick and easy mod that i did tonight. Wired up the centre fog lights to my side lights to get a fuller light effect at the back. Just needed some electrical wire, couple of scotchloks and its good to go. No SID errors, and the...
  12. Tyres, Wheels, and Brakes
    20p I checked my tyre pressures today, i usually do them every month but somehow it has been forgotten. I had a full 4 wheel alignment done October of 2012 and that made a hell of a difference to how it handled. I run my tyres at 38psi which is what they recommend for a loaded car at high...
  13. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    After spotting a great mod from one of you guys, i'm thinking of improvements to my modification of my icm2 unit. Currently i have gone a step further with the navigation install by picking a unit which also has bluetooth hands free. I will be linking up with the mic's in the roof in the...
  14. Saab 9-3 Sedan/Combi/TurboX/AWD(2003+)/Conv(2004+)
    Did the rear fog mod, well its not really a mod, more of adding a bulb to an empty holder haha Not sure why Saab didnt put a bulb in there, cost cutting forced upon by GM no doubt
