Thanks to all who responded for the advice. Bob said: "Turbo's tend to go through a lot of spark plugs (they prefer every 10K miles) but they are the cheap ones ($12/set) and you can DIY in 10 minutes. " Anyone else experience this short of lifespan for the plugs? FWIW I've just subscribed to this newsgroup and in the few postings I've seen I haven't seen much in the way of warrenty and service complaints particularly for one two or three year old cars unlike another newsgroup for an American manufactuer. Was this just an unusual period of time or are Saab owners just happier with their cars?
