That's encouraging. Everyone keeps telling me the fixit-bods who work on Saabs are inclined to be fanatical about details; but one hears other tales too. > The only thing that has failed in the last 12 months has been > the SID (saab info display) which had disappearing pixels. This > was replaced under the extended warranty with no charge (other > than buying the extra 2-year warranty 12 months ago). ISTR a lot of people reporting problems with that display. One of my hopes, in buying so far into the 9-5 model's life, is that major bugs will have been zapped (not simply scared into hiding). Has that one gone away, do you know? > Wear and tear items replaced : > [slightly scary list snipped] So many items? Do you suppose any of that relates to the mileage you do (20,000 Km/year / 12,500 miles/year approx) and/or typical temperatures in *.au? Or the amounts of dust you get? (Eg, disk rotors, brake pads, batteries.) Thanks for the detailed run-through. > I'm not in the U.K We'll let you off with a warning -- this time. :-) -- Andrew Stephenson
