Hey guys-
My car seems to have a mind of its own, which is totally cool.
However, It would be really nice if I could see my dashboard/radio at
night.  The lights come and go on thier own.... sometimes not working

Is there an iginition cutoff or immobilzer that i don't know about. The
battery is fine and i had to run it through the gears a few time to get
it to start up. It happend 3 times this month. Has this happened to

I'd like some of the seasoned owners of SAABs to list some sure-fire ways to
destroy your car. Probably neglect is the biggest killer, but I'd like to
offer another -the other person (wife, companion, daughter) who drives your
car.  I wonder how many cars loose half their life ...

Does this auto trans have a dipstick? Grandfather cannot find a
stick???? Someone told him he may have to put it up on a rack to check
the fluid level.  Is there any truth to this?  Need input...
Thanks to all

1993 900S Convertible - I'm trying to remove the rear seat. The manual
says remove 4 bolts under front of seat, but I can't find any bolts
there. What's the secret?

Hello and Goodbye from me!
Earlier this year I posted to this newsgroup about disabled
discrimination on Haverhill Town Council.
It was on this newsgroup that I met legend and warrior Peter Turtill,

Out of curiosity, has anyone ever tried to drop a V8 into a SAAB?  It
probably wouldn't work- but imagine the old Lexus SC400's v8 inside a SAAB
9-5..

A colleagues new 9-3 1.9 TID 150 has got a service indication on it, the
main part says about 400 days to the next service, but there's also an oil
indication, that seems to be going down more rapidly, as though he's going
to have to replace the oil well before the 400 days.

Hello again,
About 6 months ago I had to have a wheel bearing sorted out on my H reg Saab
9000. About 3 months later it didn't 'feel right'. Now it seems as bad as
ever. Is it usual for this to happen in such short a time?

The 2000 9-5 SE I recently purchased was 5000 miles from the 90000 mile
mark, so I decided to have the service done. Basically I wanted to see if
the Saab dealership could find anything wrong.  To my surprise ..nothing was
wrong. Correction: One of the keys is worn,  so SAAB will ...

I need a little diagnosis advice before I start pulling pieces off.
I left my sweet little '77 99 for about 10 months overwintering in the
high desert.  When I got back to it, the engine was siezed solid and it
took a lot of PB Blaster, time, ATF, and more time to free up the
