The engine upgrade is a standard Saab part, it is the chip which goes into the 185 bhp 9-3 2.0T rather than the 150 bhp 9-3 2.0t. HFS - heated front seats, I live on Saddleworth and the Cobra gets the garage ( http://www.galactic.co.uk/pete/mydaxstory.html ) so the car is cold to sit in on winter mornings. Congratulations on getting an Aero, I've driven a couple, and they are marvelous, but just out of my league once you add the other bits and bobs I wanted. Pete.
