What things should I look out for??? > > Cheers, If the chain is rattling, I would get it replaced. On a 900 (I know you've got a 9000) failure is critical. It is a big job on a 900 & may cost an arm & a leg from a dealer. My local independent specialist does them (on a 900 again) for £250 +VAT (I think). I'm in Sheffield, so that probably isn't much help to you :-) I can recommend the Saab Owners Club though; unfortunately I don't have any details with me (I normally have a club mag at work, but I've lent it to someone). I'm not connected with the club in any way, but I've been a very impressed member for about 5 years now. Membership is about £20 p.a, but I always save at least that on my insurance. It may benefit you because a lot of places give discounts to club members, and a lot of independent specialists advertise in the club mag. If you (or anyone else) want details, let me know. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
