Hi, I have been experiencing an ongoing problem with my 54 plate 9-3 Vector Sport when starting the car from cold to the point of almost draining the battery. This problem has been with the car since ownership and has been to looked at by two SAAB specialist garages who have been unable to resolve this issue. Once the car eventually starts if I immediately switch the engine off and start again it fires up first time. The problem only appears if the car is left for any long period or overnight. The parts that have been replaced to date in trying to resolve this issue as follows:-

Glow Plugs
Timing Belt
Battery
Fuel Filter
Alternator
EGR Valve

Any help or advice would be much appreciated as I am getting to the point of selling the car.

Many Thanks
