Split_Pin Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 I've decided the Saab isn't for me. The good news is that there is definitely no over or undercharging issue. It drives great. It's just too modern for me. I feel like everyone else in my estate when I'm driving it around. I'll start a roffle around £7 per ticket after the New Year, to give you all something* to look forward* to. gm, brownnova, stripped fred and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Saab might be what tempts me out of the Fabia run-around. 🤔 Split_Pin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 2.0t low pressure turbo so its badged as a 1.8. Very smooth and quiet and no slouch either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grogee Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Drove to Brizzle in my Brokus, it was fine. But there are a lot of aggressive twods on the motorway. There seems to be a new trend for scary undertaking into Lane 1 to get past a middle lane hogger, then straight out into Lane 3 thereby beating your 'opponent' by one place in the queue.

Shite Ron Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I got the latest Practical Classics yesterday, it has a buyers guide for the Fiat Panda in. Does this mean even our modern car is a classic? It probably just means I am getting old. I need to get rid of the BMW and Mondeo early next year so the Panda will be our newest car.

ruffgeezer Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 One in; a little winter project... It looks to have been well cared for and is a good spec, needs the injector seals and inlet gaskets doing. Plus a sizable snag list. That being said I think I still want @DavidB's Audi over this.

Still tired now over 3 weeks later. The Missus is struggling more than me - she still has a cough and very tired. I'm alive, but yes so tired all the time. Its not fun for that reason.

Crackers Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I'm sure the Mazda has been a bit more tappy on cold starts this week. Oil check: Oh, right, OK. Where's all that gone then? Oh. It's all fallen out. Better get that seen to I suppose. I think it's the rocker cover gasket as the oil is coming from up high. I'll change that when things warm up a tad, for now a top up of oil once a month is fine. Fumbler and grogee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
