Bobthebeard Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Wrong time of year etc etc, but Elmo the Saab is now for sale again. Previously sold on here but it developed a brake servo fault (hissing from the brake pedal area) at precisely the time the new owner drove it. Monies refunded and I took it back home.Anyway....Have replaced the brake servo and all is now good. Took me a while as was a bugger to do, but anyway, now done.The car is 2001 Y registered. Automatic transmission and everything works including aircon, reversing sensors etc. No body rust, a few minor marks/ scuffs in the paint and bumpers but extremely presentable really. New front wheel bearings, good and matching tyres and drives beautifully.Sump drop and clean done by me, upgraded breather system fitted by me. New rear silencer..... The list goes on. Transmission fluid changed, oil ( fully synthetic) and filter changed. Pollen filter done also. MOT September 2019. No advisories.86,000 miles. Much ££££ spent tbh. More than I should have but hey ho...Looking for £695. Located in Lytham St Annes. Can deliver anywhere in the UK for a contribution to pez and rail fare home. Possible swapz. Possibly. djimbob, Jerzy Woking, Toledo71 and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplebargeken Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My Saab 99 had the ignition in the very same place. Really rather sensible. Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djimbob Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 oh bloody hell! I've just bought a Pug 206cc auto on the bay, hopefully getting delivered tomorrow so no collection shenanigans, I loved the last one from Eddy until the roof played up, and this colour interior is up there with my favourites, goddammit Good luck etc and so on, still tempted but haven't actually told the missus yet about the Pug, bah skattrd, purplebargeken and Bobthebeard 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat_Pirate Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Tempted to buy this back Mrs Pirate loved this car, but it would mean selling on the CLK which would be a lot of faff. It had a new turbo, front struts, suspension arms, front brakes while it was in our custody. It's surprisingly quick! Bobthebeard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I’ll have this in 3 years please- once I can get it onto a classic policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marm Toastsmith Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I don't understand how this is ULEZ exempt... seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Didn't know FJ did online quotes either! Although if it's £400 on a classic you might as well get a "normal" policy... Fabergé Greggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketeer Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Didn't know FJ did online quotes either! Although if it's £400 on a classic you might as well get a "normal" policy...I did just bung in any old personal details so I'm sure it could be got cheaper.When I had the forum bike 900 V6 floppytop it was an extra £20 to add on to my existing FJ policy for the remainder of the year (about 10 months). Edit - It would be over £2,000 for me on a 'normal' policy, so I'd snap their balls off for £400. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabergé Greggs Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 What engine is it in this then and what BHP’s as standard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marm Toastsmith Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 My Saab 99 had the ignition in the very same place. Really rather sensible. 900s too. Not sure how sensible tbh...they tend to get full of crumbs etc... Comes from the Saab convention of the keys locking the gear lever in reverse - which in the earlier 95/96 results in a more conventional ignition position - they have a column shift!

Lacquer Peel Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 ULEZ is based on Euro emissions standards, Euro 4 for petrols (early 2000s on) and Euro 6 (2015 on) for diesels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgetgricey Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 What engine is it in this then and what BHP’s as standard? Its not got the turbo gauge on the dash so assume would be the 2.0 Light Pressure Turbo.Will still go well enough, but is fairly cheap and easy to get quote a very healthy BHP increase via visiting a bloke called Saabnoob on UKSaabs.
