  4. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    After doing the head gasket and lots of other engine bits and pieces on my Aero I did the brakes this weekend as the pedal was a little soft and braking was not very good. Fitted new brembo discs all round, textar rear pads and Pagid front pads (from those nice Elkparts people - usual very...
  5. Classic Saab 900 (1979 - 1993)
    Managed to damage the c900 last night- offside front wheel went into a hole in the road - never heard a louder crash/bang noise in my life from inside a car . I can now hear something rattling when i go over smaller bumps, and it seems suspension related. Steering feels ok but i...

    I was having trouble with my exhaust banging under the boot, so I pulled into National and asked if I could borrow their ramp for 5 minutes to take a look. All the staff there loved the car and seemed more than happy to help. It transpired that the manager (Ashok) had owned several T16S models...

  11. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    this might sound like a frail attempt at comedy, but do saab recommend any snow / grippy / M&S tyres for the 9000? i'm quite impressed with how the auto 9000 copes with muddy tracks and fields, just wondered if anyone in the sticks used a winter/mud set of tyres/wheels.......
  12. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)

  15. Saab 9000 (1984 - 1998)
    Continued story from "9000 Handling Upgrade" Thanks to Aeroboy Andy (hope you are viewing) I have a bit more information on the availability of Aero shox and some lingering questions about Saab's parts service. Andy tells me that the part nos. for Aero shox were 4646758 (front) and 4647095...
  16. Classic Saab 9-5 (1997 - 2009)
    Two questions that may elementary but any way; What is the big deal with the 60k or 66k service that I have read about. I questioned my service guy at the main dealer where I bought my 99 9-5 2.0 and he said there was nothing special and that it should not cost any more that a full service...

  19. Classic Saab 9-3/GM900 (1994 - 2002)/Conv ( -2003)
    Hi, I'm going to buy a Road Angel GPS/Laser speed trap detector tomorrow, but before I do I just wondered if anybody uses one. Is it worth the £399? Does the 9-3 have a heat reflecting windscreen? Apparently this can interfere with the signal. Thanks

This poll is to judge when it should be, which day of the weekend, if we should combine it with a General East Anglian meet, and an idea of numbers. The Rolling Road is at Emerald Engineering...
