Hi all I'm Lee from chesterfield-UK. Had my saab for 3+yrs now. Anyone out there with the same engine who can help compare problems and solutions with? Would be good to hear from you.

Since Beren mentioned a question about how he should best go about keeping his Jet Black Metallic Saab Turbo X looking good I thought it might be a good time to link up a couple of previous posts on the matter for people to review. Some of you may not have been around when these were originally...

Saab USA have upped the Fly to the Finish cash available on the 2008 Saab 9-5 during April. There’s now $1,000 FTTF cash on top of $1,500 customer loyalty cash for the 08 model 9-5. Somehow I don’t that’s going to get it done. —— There’s no cash on the hood of 2008 Saab 9-3s at the moment...

Another day done. My apologies for the low volume of postings here in the last few days, but it’s pointless taking the laptop to the show. I’ve been at the show all day for the last two days, which just leaves posting at night. The discussion in comments has benefitted, however, which has...

Another day passes in Detroit, and it shall be known as the day I didn’t carry my camera enough. Consequently, I have no photos from the GM Style event that I attended tonight, but I do have some good notes…. Buckle up, long post coming….. —— The day started with lunch at Fishbones...

Howdy all, and greetings from my hotel room at the Marriott, in the Renaissance Center itself! I’ve got a pizza and basketball on ESPN - does life get much better than that? Well, yeah, it does actually. I could have my family here, too. But if you’re going to be stuck somewhere halfway...

Well, I flew in today after a hellishly long flight. Grrrrrr. I’m in LA and the first thing that happened was getting my fingerprints scanned and my photo taken. Security is everywhere. The next thing that happened was a greeting from 1985Gripen, who met me at the airport. I don’t have...

UPDATED below - is Holden becoming Saab? —— Today is media day for the Australian International Motor Show, being held in Sydney. I attended last year and saw the Aero-X in person, but wasn’t able to attend this year. Nevertheless, TS is more than adequately represented by Richo, my...

Go Auto, the authors of perhaps the best and most comprehensive 2008 Saab 9-3 review so far, have written another article about Saab. It's a very curious and interesting piece. There's a lot of articles going around at the moment quoting Jan-Ake Jonsson and Carl-Peter Forster with regards to...

There's been no entries here today, but here's a bumper edition of travel notes to make up for it. Sit back as it's a long one. ----- This morning saw an early start so that we could make it out to Kinnekulle Racetrack for the Saab track day. I never thought I'd come to Sweden and get...

Today was day 2 of the Saab Festival here in Trollhattan, Sweden, and it was a day full of unexpected pleasures. ----- First, there was the rather noisy but fun wake-up call that filled the whole city. Around 6-8 trucks pulling trailers full of school graduates around the city streets...

Today the Saab Festival officially began and it's been well worth the visit already with three days more to come. I started the day with a post on this site that stated that I was going to try and attend several seminars and events. Fuggedaboutit!! There's just too much to see and too...

As pointed out by Ted in recent comments (and I think by someone else in some other comments) there's some pretty open pictures of a Saffron Yellow 9-3 Convertible (Aero) outside the Saab Museum here. ----- You can tell it's really building up here. It's now easier to count the number...

Most video will be held off until Friday evening as I'll be getting the use of a Mac at that time. I can process video on the laptop as long as it's all in one take. If I have to edit stuff out then it's too frustrating on this machine. Please be patient, it'll be worth it. ----- Whilst...

Before touring the factory today, I had to find it. Just finding Saab itself was a challenge for a guy with a substandard map in a LHD car (I drive RHD) on the wrong side of the road. I thought I was lost at one stage and turned around, but some directions from a gracious local told me I was...

It's 10pm and I've been in Trollhattan for about an hour. I was meant to get here about two and a half hours ago, but there was some sort of accident on the railway line and the train I was on to Gothenburg stopped for an hour. Consequently, I missed my connecting train to Trollhattan and...

Hi, I've got a Nov '99 Aero with 75K on the clock. After forever being worried about the oil in it, I've decided to change the oil and filter myself. What oil would you chaps/chapesses recommended for such a beast? Also, after reading various stories about the dreaded sludge, is this...
