Can anyone with EPC please give me the part number for the fuel line that runs from the pump to the fuel filter on a 2006 petrol... The end of the filer has snapped off in mine so it looks like I'm going to have to drop the tank and replace that pipe..! Thanks in advance

Today I fitted an exhaust system off an Aero Ttid onto my petrol Aero, I thought the sound would be the same but now it has a nice tone when accelerating similar to a V6, strange as there is now 2 rear boxes to muffle the noise  :o
I modified my rear valance as I didn't fancy paying the price saab wanted for one with two cut outs, I simply welded a piece of plastic into the original oval hole on the N/S (filled level with plastic padding) and them trimmed both sides to leave a 10mm gap round both tailpipes before a quick coat of fine textured dark grey plastic paint to make it look original.

I'm happy with it  ;D

Years ago I had some software where you could for example delete a background or a blemish on a digital image, the kind of thing I'm after also would need to include copying a part of the image and adding it to a different area on the same pic, or copying a part of one image and overlaying it over another.
Any advise on a suitable software to purchase will be great.  ;D

Does anybody know the part number of the lower bumper trim on the 2.8 V6 Aero up to 06 that takes the dual exhaust?

Thanks in advance

Off-topic chat, Help, Advice, General motoring issues / The visit
« on: 17 September 2011, 08:25:23 AM »
For the past 5 weeks I've beeen out of the office and back on the workshop floor with the Managing Director building a car for his daughter, He's done the body while I've done the chassis/running gear/wiring..... The car is going to be registered as a new vehicle so everything is either brand new or re-furbished to 'as new' standards.
It's been hard work and there have been many problems along the way but we got there just in time as we were due a visit from a guy who turned up in a brand new Ferrari California you may recognise him in a picture later.

Anyway here's some picture's

I will post this here rather than in private as if it can't be done it may save some-one else asking.

My Question is, would it be possible to see a members location by there name? I quite like this feature on other boards.

« on: 01 July 2011, 08:19:34 PM »
I'd like to suggest a yearly meet, one where we can put a face to a name and have a good old chin wag  ;) and possibly a beer or two and something to eat.

So here goes,
September?

Please don't take this as a negative as it's not, I'm just sure your all aware with the way things are today with internet fraud/identity theft if you display you registration number on the web you're leaving yourself wide open.
I and the rest of Saab Tech Talk team/members would hate to see anybody getting parking fines/speeding tickets or worse just from posting a picture of there car on a friendly forum  :)

Cleaning and Detailing / What do you use?
« on: 29 June 2011, 10:44:18 PM »
I like my car clean and wash it at least once a week, as for polish/wax I use Autosmart products that I think work well. So what do you use any why?
I'm after tips/tricks, You know like using furniture polish for a quick shine  :D

Noticed this on the web, some crazy swedes got an accident damaged Viper and stitched a Saab 9-3 body onto it. More pics and videos on the net if you search for Saab srt10 megapower  :D

On a recent trip I spotted these carbon ceramic discs for an Audi R8, now they look small on the pic but in real life these made my eyes open wide! 380mm or the best part of 15 inches  :o these were as big as some peoples wheels.
