The FM55 B10 box on Ebay was just the job.
Many thanks to Doug [UKSaabs]
Fitted no issues.

Seems online that the FM55 B10 should be suitable.
There is one of the Bay of Plenty, unused.....
Any comment?
Getting very fed up with holding it in 5th on the motorway....

Manual 2010 Aero spec estate
Think I am looking at 5th/reverse gear work.
Difficulty sometime getting into 5th and it occasionally drops out of 5th.....
I could get the current one fixed [did on my last 9-5)
My Saab guy says of course its doable but he had little while ago seen brand new ones around the 600£ mark.

Can't find any online, any ideas?

2010 9-5 2.3T

I know this has been done to death over the years but I am colour blind and electrics are a nightmare..
I need recommendations on someone who knows 9-5's and can fit a replacement double din unit [maybe supply??] to replace my current OEM sat nav unit.
Ideas anyone, prepared to travel if need be [I'm Derby]

Thanks for the reply.
I will recalibrate.

I had a recharge on Thursday and there was a definite improvement, there was about 25% of the gas there should have been.

Car has not been driven that much in the year before I got it.

Very pleased with the new one.
Much tighter driving feel, its supposed to have the Aero suspension but I have my doubts, understeers more than the old one..
Picks up very well, feels as though tune is different to bring in more torque lower donw than the 2002
Not too much to say to be honest.
Not that impressed by the 'new' door card material and the seat leather compared to the old 2002 Aero.

On the agenda a visit to NoobTune...

Welcome to my new to me 2010 9-5 2.3 Turbo.
101,000 miles, everything works..

My old bus turned 200,000 miles last week!!

Had a fault with the xenons, the level fault light came on, both headlights were not pointing correctly
Mechanic changed the load sensors, nope
Changed wiring, nope
Changed both headlights for known ok second-hand, now works fine on the original load sensors and wiring.....
Tech 2 was showing no faults....

Had the aero for ten years now!
Its has had a brake light fault on the SID for many years.
Did the usual, change brake lights in pairs and check the loom going into the boot area.
All seemed fine but just lived with it.
Recently the headlights would stay on with the switch left on and key removed.
Turns out there was some scoring on the contacts [and the plug connector] on the left hand side, replacing both with scrappy parts sorted it out.
Many thanks to Malcolm Miles in Leicester for figuring that one! :-)

I have a stiff back so sit on the bolster and then swing my legs through 90 degrees to get in the car.
Over ten years its taken its toll...

Drivers is getting a bit saggy....
