Lots of well engineered solutions here

At a price

My brake light fix cost me £6, the first light bar about a tenner, with plenty of spares left over

Some of those are quite expensive!  But may seem cheap if Hedin come up with an "official" repair.

Sauntering around the Saab EPC, I spotted that in the page for the turbocharger there was a support bracket that acts as a brace between the turbo and the engine.

That was missing on mine, so I got one from ebay off something called a Vauxhall Astra VXR  ;)

As the studs were also missing, a quick visit to Toolstation for some 10mm threaded bar provided the necessary fixing points.

The bracket is quite chunky, as though it has to take quite a lot of force, so I'm glad that I have fitted one, though because space is so tight, this involved removing the cat to allow sufficient access to put the brace between cat & block. Fortunately, all the nuts were clean and rust free, having just been fitted a few weeks ago
