I made another post on here about a car I looked at, and am still planning
on buying..
It had some noisy belts when I checked it out.  It feels like seattle here
in indianapolis as of late, where the rain just seems to be non-stop.  The

I recently replaced the rear brake pads/rotors in my 1992 900. This was my
first attempt at brake work, and I think it went generally well. A couple
questions though:
1. The handbrake doesn't work. I followed the instructions in the Bentley

Thanks Dave Hinz, you were initially pretty on the money about a
wandering but stuck stick shift in that I found that the pin linking to
tranny had fallen out and this was very easy to get fixed. Quenbro

I'm in the process of looking for a new car. Looking for a nice,
presentable car, maybe 5 years old or so. Obvious you say - get a nice
9^5 2.3t. Sensible, roomy, comfortable.
Sure, it all looks great on paper, then you drive one, and think "yeah,

If I buy a 9-5 estate second-hand can I add the extra seats to any car or is
it something that I need to check was factory fitted?
Also what are the extra seats like? Are they rear facing like the Volvo's
and really only suitable for children?

I'm trying to replace my 1995 9000 that got run into and have just
about given up on finding a decent 9000 I can afford or that I feel is
worth the money they're asking for it.
Tomorrow I'm looking at a 900 and a 9-3. Both SE. 900 is a 1997 with

Does anyone know where to get a cheap version of the mobile phone antenna on
a 2001 9-3 convertible? Someone took mine(grrr!) and they cost a ridiculous
amount to replace in Australia. Also, as I don't use the phone, I could use
a dummy. Any ideas?

While some of this info is not news (opel vs saab factory production), the
fact that the threat exists publically may spell impending doom for the

I'm thinking of upgrading my stereo from the frankly weedy Saab original in
my 9-3SE.  I know I can get the wiring adaptor and DIN-size kit, but can I
still use the steering wheel mounted controls?  I'd hate to lose those.

I'm wondering about gas mileage for the 9-3 (previous generation, 99-03 or
whatever).  What are everyone's experiences?  (please note manual or automatic).
I'm most interested in highway mileage, as I don't drive much locally.

Since a couple of months I own a Classic 900 Turbo 8. Because photography,
and especially car photography, is a hobby of mine, I took some photo's of
my car and I've put them on my website. You can find them on:

My sis in law has a 90' 900,  who's low fuel light won't go out.  Does
anyone know how to fix this off-hand?  Is there a way to stop this from
happening?  It's not life threatening, but still.. I'd like to think it's
fixable.  I thought that possibly taking the battery cable and ...

The keyless entry for my 99 93SE is inop.  New battery is no help.  does
anyone know where the "receiver" is located in the vehicle?

We all know Maaco is bad, but found a interesting review from this guy
who got screwed.
