Reduced the price of the 9-5 TiD in the "For Sale" ad.
I need the money from selling the TiD to pay for the extra fuel that the 2.3T uses....

This one will run and run - like the 9-3 SDAL disc saga.

I turned the front edges of the rear footwell mats in the 'vert up so that they were resting against the bottom of teh seats.
This cuts out the forward airflow under the seats when the hood is down, that makes mens' ankles cold and ladies' skirts billow.
Still some work to do to kill the draught between the seats with something inexpensive but visually appealing (cardboard works but doesn't look the part!) that willl allow the seats to tip and move.
I do have a cunning plan...

SATNAVDVD.CO.UK uses a UK proxy service to hide its true registrant, so that doesn't sound too hopeful.

Alloys used to be rare and expensive, now it's steel wheels that are rare.

I think the presence or otherwise of the Entrprise is engine as well as build-date dependent. My '06 Edna TiD has one...I know because it went leaky!

« on: 26 June 2015, 01:18:52 PM »The X-type Jag is one on my list of possible replacements for my 9-5. ...... it is basically a Mondeo underneath.....Looked at one a while back. The problem when comparing with 9-5 is interior space. It's only really 9-3 sized, which, when you consider how gargantuan the Mondeo is inside (especially estates) seems a bit of a reverse-TARDIS trick. Snug for the front-seat occupants, but plain cramped for adults in the back.
The space and tales of hidden but catastrophic corrosion rather put me off, so I bought....a 9-5 again.

Classic Saab 9-5 (MY 1998-2010) / Re: wheel bearing - how long will it last
« on: 12 June 2015, 02:08:45 PM »
Didn't break the 100K barrier...?
I don't even buy them until they hit 90K!
My old 2.2 had a front bearing go at about 110K. It lasted for a couple of months before I lost patience and got it changed. Even then it was still only annoying rather than announcing imminent disaster.
The replacement was a different matter. A pattern part from GSF and it lasted about 6 weeks - thankfully no argument about it being replaced, but I still had to pay for the labour again (grrrr).
