Firstly, thanks for all the replies to my halogen to xenon question. I opted for Osram NightBreakers as a quick (cheap) fix! I bought my '07 9-3 tid auto (150) a few weeks ago. After much deliberation, I opted for a late pre-facelift model in the hope that some of the issues which affected...

Hi all I have a Saab 9-3 Vector, 52 plate, but MY2003, 2.0t petrol (175bhp) with 66k miles on clock. I did look all this up before I bought the car a year ago, and tried doing a search now but can't find anything relevant, but was under the impression that the 72k mile service was a biggie...

Hi there, I've come back to the Saab fold after a few years off, having just bought a 9-5 aero auto salloon (dame edna style). It's got 96k on the clock and desperately needs a service. I've just called my local Saab dealer for a price and was quoted £686 for a 72k service (it does need the...

Hi Im pretty sure that you can get a service done by a non-saab garage without affecting warranty, but what about parts? Do i have to use OEM parts, or can i get my filters etc from anywhere? Thanks R

I've had a 1997 900 Coupe since 2003, and have always had it serviced at Currie Motors Saab in Wimbledon - they were excellent, but have now closed :( If anyone has experience of servicing from the dealerships Saab Fulham, Ballards of Finchley, or West End Saab, I'd welcome your comments - I'd...
