    I have a 99 Saab 9-3. I'm replacing my window rollers on the drivers door. I have the new rollers installed but my problem is that when I roll the window up the left arm that attaches to the roller is extending too much forcing the roller of the track. How do I stop it from doing this?

    After reading the guides and advice on here I decided to replace them as the car came with a new set as current weren't working. It took me about 40 mins start to finish on my own. It was surprisingly easy.

    Hi All- First time poster. I searched, honestly. Sorry for the long post. I figured better to include the details than not. I got a sweet '06 9-3 Convertible at a fire sale price. It was technically running but sounded like absolute crap. I only looked at it at night, made the deal and...

    Hi All, Well as per my other thread, it's not good news. The banjo end on the bottom coolant pipe for the turbo on my 2.8 V6 Aero had actually come apart at the join to the pipe. Having tried everything including getting some sort of pipe made up to join it, I want to do the job properly. I...

    I have a 2002 9-3 2.2 TiD.The turbo needs replacing and I would like to replace it myself.I believe that undoing the bolts could be an issue but other than this is it relatively straight forward or is there anything more technical I need to know before getting stuck in?Many thanks.
