Hello - I am a new Saab owner - have been a VW owner till now but the 95 900 SE convertible caught my fancy... car has 130K here are a few probems I have noticed. - Windshield washer - it does not seem to work, examined the T connectors/valves there seems to be nothing coming out. Looks like the motor to me - I belive it is on the same fuse as the wipers and the wipers work fine. - There seems to be an oil leak somewhere as you can see oil in the engine compartiment and after a long highway run it burns on the exaust. Smells and smokes really bad - I have tighted the valcover gasket - what else could it be - there is no water in the oil. - On bumps the car makes a knocking noise on the right side - is it the shocks? the strut mount? I know this is a small description what can I say hit a bump and drong drong feels like something wants to fall of. - In general the suspention seems a bit hard - is that the design or are the parts just ageing? - The adjustment on the headlight for the up- down is a very small knob that I cannot turn with my fingers - is there a tool for this? - The cigarete lighter is stuck - common? Thank you in advance - Scott
