Not a problem to me - I quite happily gurgle away on UK SAABs, 900 Aero, SAAB Central and a number of other national/own language forums :)

Hey, talking of the 'Million Mile SAAB' (er-hum) ... I read that the gearbox was re-built after 200,000 miles, but was then good for the remainder of the million miles. What do we do in the first 200,000 (or 100,000 if you're me!) that we do not do thereafter?

For me, it was "upping" the boost to Type M specifications and dragging Evos, Scoobies and bikes off the line ... Bad idea :o

Or, are we saying that the gearbox is inherently poor and that a good re-build will last for the remainder of the car's life?

Inquiring minds need to know ...

Oops, thought I'd deleted that post.. was supposed to say Saabscene.. anyone know what's up with them by the way? They've been off the air since the week before Christmas.

I had to replace the box on my '96 9000 Aero at 160K, 5 months after I got it. I put it down to over-enthusiastic driving... Maybe once you've gone through the trauma & expense of a "new" box, you treat it a bit more gently? I know I do.. (most of the time :)

Happy Hogmanay by the way :)

But apparently when the President of the USA knowingly lies to the public, ignores any intelligence that contradicts his predefined answers, directs his intelligence agencies only to find certain answers, keeps a Sr. Cabinet Officer on staff who committed treason by revealing the name of a CIA agent, and starts a $352b war for the financial gain of his friends - Dave's OK with that.

Funny guy.

I want to see BioWillie pumps in the UK.
