On the side of the block, is a round plug, about 4cm in diameter or so (from memory). This gets tipped in to the block, then pulled out with a pliers. Into that hole, goes the block heater.

Not a bad idea... As far as the hose-heaters and magnetic heaters, they work, but the hose heater is almost as much work and involves using a non-saab part, and I've been told (by someone who sells such things) that the magnetic ones have the nasty habit of falling off on occasion and being absent when you want 'em. The magnetic heater is quicker, though, and better than nothing. Dave Hinz
