    Hi all, I bought a 2008 9-3 Combi TTID auto back in April as my first car and I love her, 192k km's and in really great condition. As you would expect for a 10 year old car there have been a few small niggles(needed some front springs replacing etc which seems to be standard issue) however...

    HELP! I cannot find anywhere to ask a question, but this thread might be able to direct me. My SAAB radio died and I replaced it with a Pioneer unit, installed by a specialist. All of the audio warning sounds do not now work. Is there any fix to this?

    I got a ABS warning spear on my 2006 9-3 sports estate, I've seen this before when I changed the front wheel bearings last year and forgot to do up the ABS connector, I had a quick look and they all seems ok, so I presume it's a break in a wire somewhere under the car or the rear wheels...

I recently purchased a 2007 9-3 Aero convertible (only 3 days ago, actually!). When I turn the ignition on, several warnings appear on the SID, one at a time as I...

    Hi, My 2005 wagon has been worked on, and while in the shop, the mechanics shut down the alarm system using tech 2. Thealarm system lived a life of its own anyway. When I picked up the car, the tailgate lock motor had stopped working, and the brake light failure message popped up. Is this a...

    Around 2005 the VED went up considerably on some bands of cars. When looking at a car from 2005+ i strongly suggest you check here first: https://www.gov.uk/calculate-vehicle-tax-rates. For example a 9-5 Aero manual will cost £290.00 per annum but the same spec car with an auto box is £490.00...
