Shalien Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I am the proud owner of a nearly 20yr SAAB 9-5 AERO Estate. Stage 1 Remap, upgraded Billys shocks all round, and OEM Springs. Many other new bits too. I'm proudly running what other's consider shite, for much less than the PCP on their eurobox etc. 😁😂 stripped fred, Vantman, Twiggy and 23 others 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MB Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My dad is a serial Saab licker but I’ve always had Volvos when in the mood for a bit of swede. It’d feel like cheating but I really must try owning one while they’re accessible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimH Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 8 hours ago, Vantman said: My old one---i believe it's still in the AS fold somewhere? Still going just fine. New flexible joint in the exhaust, a handbrake cable and a lower balljoint is about all it has needed. Annoyingly it failed its MOT on the bloody servo because the seal had failed. This cost £0.00p to sort but took two days to work out how to extract and refit the sodding thing using only your fingertips. At least it stopped the hissing noise coming from under the dashboard. gm, Vantman and Tickman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six-cylinder Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Saab, these are in the past, but I am not cured and I am hoping in the summer a deal will be struck with a friend to take on another one. timolloyd, LightBulbFun, Saabnut and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig the Princess Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 The Saab of many shiters is currently having the head gasket done. The mechanic said the timing belt was holding on by thoughts and prayers alone. Once I've spent a load on that I'll have an un-MoTed car with a broken roof.

dozeydustman Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 My one and only Saab is now in the hands of another shiter, a93 TiD sportwagon150bhp I’ll have another bash at one when time and money permit. Preferably a ragtop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieInExile Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I miss my Aero estate, remapped (noob stage 1) and manual - so comfy, so fast. Still in the AS fold I believe. I'd definitely have another some day. Would also like to try a 9000 at some point. Maybe when I've had enough of my T5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surface Rust Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I still have a yearning for another Saab, classic 900s are peak car for me and I'd love another. I can't claim to have owned 28, but I did peak at three at the same time. Only the red turbo lives on in the hands of my brother. My low point was bending one substantially on a navigation rally.
