Thanks Craig. My mechanic has dealt with Saabs for 30 years and is pretty good. I think he's tried everything (well obviously not everything or it'd be fixed!)and he's been right through the fuel system. I'll work on the distributor first and see how it goes, then back to the fuel system if it's not fixed. I'll keep everyone informed.
