A minor detail I forgot to put in the description: there's a minor oil leak from the back of the engine somewhere. Oil can get onto something hot so you can smell it a bit. Less of a problem on a longer journey as it seems to burn off.

I haven't advertised this car anywhere else (yet) so I'm putting a feeler on here first.

MY2000 (W) 9-5 Aero Estate (manual) in silver with black/grey interior and leather seats. I'm its second owner from new (bought from Saab main dealer) and it's done a tad under 122k miles (mostly long journeys with very little use over the past couple of years).

Bad points:
Dent in o/s rear door but paint not broken
Wheels need some tlc
Air-con not functioning, probably just needs a re-gas
Remote locking not functioning (you have to use the key)
Some pixels going on SID I (it had a new one when I bought the car in 2006)
Minor scuffs on front bumper
Front n/s fog-light bracket broken

£1200 ono. I'll post some photos later. Car is located in West Suffolk.

edit: car has MOT until September 2013. Sensible offers welcome.

OK, I seem to have (I think) fixed the issue AFAICT.

I had 2 lots of cookies: from both saabtechtalk.com and www.saabtechtalk.com.
I logged out and deleted all related cookies.
Went back to the forum via http://saabtechtalk.com (ie without the www) and logged in.
Everything seems to be OK now.

When I visit the forum, I go to

Code: [Select]

http://www.saabtechtalk.com/forum/index.php However, all the links etc are to

Code: [Select]

http://saabtechtalk.com/forum/etc... (ie without the www sub-domain prefex). Could this be the source of the problem?

Kev, I think June 2000 probably was when Saabscene started.  Although not called Saabscene until a little while later, it was originally hosted as a forum at The Saab Pages on www.saabs.co.uk

I still have a bookmark to "saabs.co.uk - Johnny Winter's Saab Pages"! It's still active, but loads a blank page.

There should be an unread posts link under you username at the top left of the page.

Whoops . For some reason the index page still shows a login prompt even when I am logged in. This is displayed in preference to the unread posts and new replies links, although they appear on other pages.

I will try deleting the cookies to see if that sorts things out.
