Thanks for the tip, guys!
Just been looking online to see if they do a Haynes Manual for the 9-3 Aero.
Turns out they don't.
Does anyone know where the switch is located so I can have a go at adjusting
it? My local SAAB dealer wants to charge me 75 quid labour to have a look at
it with no promise of resolving the problem. If I can just find a manual or
instructions on how to adjust it myself, then I might be able to save myself
some money.
