Anyone with a Saab would be wise to have a copy of the appropriate service manual, and keep it in the car. Even if you don't plan to do anything on the car yourself, just having the information with you if something goes wrong, so you can find a mechanic who is capable of following a procedure and fixing it for you, is very worthwhile. I've been doing this since I was driving 96's, and if nothing else, you always know where your manual is... Dave Hinz
