C900 heater control

Yup, I would concur that in my experience all of these places are generally wet, I live in Wakefield and it's pretty damp here as well! (I hail from Kent, well sort of, long story, won't bore you now!)

Sure, till next time we have to help you out...

That was 60 years ago and now we are a union. Hopefully this will bring peace on the continent, but historically very few unions have ended peacefully. Let's just just wait and see if we need your help again.

No problem. Something about being in union with, er, two or three of your neighbors, would give me a serious case of unease.

Norway stayed out, right? Or, is that just currency? I can see their point, personally, either way... some grudges are just too early to give up on.

Sweden and Norway were in a union from 1814 to 1905, before that Norway belonged to Denmark for several hundred years. This was one of the exceptions where a union has ended peacefully although it was very close to war. As the Norweigians have had their own country for quite a short time I guess they still want to be independent, at least until they learn to manufacture cars and until they run out of oil and salmon. They had some electric car design presented a few years ago but it never became a commercial success.

It has an intercooler, and it's pretty rapid. Haven't checked out the APC yet, daylight hours are mostly taken up with being at work so I fixed the heater by inspection lamp.

To be honest, it looks great, it drives great and it didn't cost me a fortune. These cars are going up in value now, as long as they're maintained, so for the money I paid (£520) I can't lose.

I think it was Grunff who told me I'd miss the C900, when I sold my last one and bought a 9000. He was right, this deal was definitely done with the heart not the head!

My wife thinks I'm mad, but luckily she loves Saabs too, it was actually her who started this love affair with the marque. Anyway I'm going all misty eyed, thanks again for the heater help.

And then the languages started to diverge. I can read Danish and older Norwegian almost interchangably, Swedish and modern Norwegian not as well.

I've go some friends in Ringebu (Oppland) who give me a hard time about collecting "Swedish traktors". I corrected them, mentioned that that would be Volvo, and asked when there was going to be a Norwegian car for me to buy instead.

But hey, he collects Buicks, so no accounting for taste. (Hei Brede!) - we shipped a 1966 Buick Wildcat over there a few years ago. I tried to talk him into something at least _attractive_, but...

Do you have a name I could google for on that?

Oh. My. Goodness. Yeeeeah...um...I'll be sticking with my Saabs. Even the Buick Wildcat isn't that fugly.

But look at the tremendous performance: Acceleration: 0-50 kph in 8 seconds Maximum speed: 80 kph.

Doesn't that make you eagerly wanting a test drive?

You forgot to ask the very common Saab question, assuming your Saab still has most of its pieces. Have you noticed the mud flaps under the middle of the car? These are for the other set of wheels :-) There are other explanations as well :-)

That's...remarkable.

Ah, but sadly, it's not marketed in the US. Ah well.

Usually when I'm doing things that involve disassembling and re-assembling the instrument/control panel in the dash I remove the left-side speaker/vent unit on top of the dash and then you can reach inside and find the uni-joint on the end of the rod which mates onto the control rod on the heater valve.

Depending how much of a mess has been made, you could remove whatever is in the DIN slot at the top and find the other end. Could you send a picture of the dash to give us an idea of the damage?

I've pulled the dash apart quite a few times for various things on my 1983 Saab 900S so I'm becoming quite skilled at it now. 8-) The last one was when I fitted some indiglo gauge faces (something that will become a project topic on my personal Saab website soon).

That's why I said left-side in my post. Australia is a RHD country just like the UK. 8-)

You've missed a few posts Craig, I sorted it very quickly thanks to Dave Hinz and Grunff (surprise surprise!)but thanks for the response nonetheless. Thanks also for the links.
