captain_cal Posted December 6, 2016 Author Share Posted December 6, 2016 After a MEGA TOW SESH with the Range Rover (which had a duff clutch anyway, and now desperately needs a new one, which is going to cost FIVE HUNDRED FUCKING QUID), the previous objects of my desire are now safely squirreled away: As previously mentioned, the Saab is drinking oil and cuffing out blue smoke, and definitely oil smoke cos it's blue and it stinks. But it only happens at an incredibly specific time: I live at the bottom of a very steep long hill, and there is a nasty corner halfway up. So I can set off smoke-free, and come off the throttle for the corner, but when I get back on it afterwards, the car behind me is enveloped in a haze of smoke. Now I've spoken to the previous owner and he says he had the intercooler off and found oil in the bottom, so what we reckon is happening is that oil has got in there again and the steep hill is just enough to allow the oil in the intercooler to trickle back into the air intake and get burnt. So I guess the question I'm asking is, what's the most likely cause of oil in the intercooler? Somebody has mentioned the turbo seals.

Fat_Pirate Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I reckon turbo seals. My Mrs has one of these and loves it, though the turbo did blow in spectacular fashion after going from no smoke, a bit of smoke, to ALL THE SMOKE in less than 15 minutes. I understand the 'little' turbo (150BHP, no boost guage) is the least reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only top aero/viggen has a bigger turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 *queues up* Could I potentially enquire about a price too, assuming it is compatible with a YS3F with the B207E engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Cade Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 I have a Saab,which has started smoking occasionally too. It's only fourteen. Does this lead to bigger problems in the future, like a habit for cocaine or will counselling help if I catch it early?

captain_cal Posted January 2, 2017 Author Share Posted January 2, 2017 Does anyone know where I can get the proper pre-2001 font number plates for my Range Rover? Like these: Mine's got awful post-2001 narrow font plates on, which make me feel a little bit sick every time I look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_cal Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Does anyone fancy this before I stick it on eBay? 2001 Saab 9-3 SE Turbo Convertible. 93,000 miles. Shortish MOT till 06/05/2017. £350 Located in mid Cornwall PL24. I bought this at the start of last summer and smoked around in it and then stashed it away over the winter. On the first vaguely sunny day we had about two weeks ago I dug it out, got it back on the road.. and decided I prefer my P38. Good points first:It's a real sharp looker in blue, and it goes like fuggin shit off a shovel!Leather interior is in good nick barring a tiny fag burn in passenger doorcard - see pic.Sump drop was done a year ago by the previous owner and the oil and filter was changed 300 miles ago with proper GM-spec stuff.The roof is in full working order, in a lovely shade of blue to match the car, goes up and down with no problems, and is fully waterproof.It has niggles:It has been known to puff out blue smoke occasionally - however since the oil change this seems to have diminished.EML light comes and goes - stuck it on the diagnostics and it came up with a code for a misfire, but doesn't affect running in any way.Runs hot - fan is eager to cut in. Temp gauge never budges though. Used a small amount of water on a 300-mile round trip the other day.Crack in top of driver's windscreen (passed MOT last year).Front tyres are wearing on the inside edge so will need a pair for MOT.I have been driving it daily and it's been fine. Someone with a little time and more knowhow than me would have it running sweet - I have simply lost interest due to being sucked into a downward spiral of increasingly ropier P38 Range Rovers, which means I am in my element. The turbo grille fitted will be replaced with a standard 9-3 one before sale. CHEERS Sigmund Fraud and sporty-shite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Breadvan72 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Yowza! I paid 550 for Mrs BV's one of these a few weeks ago, and that was a mucho good deal. This one looks a megabarg for 350, and it even has an ALL TEH BOOST gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never got anything 16 years old on a classic policy other than a Raver 75 because there's an ownership club that's actively involved with one of the insurers.
