Subject: Re: saab 900s '96 battery drain


Dear Dima, there is something fishy with the article you mention: It says: " 1992 Saab 318i models ..." There is no Saab 318. There IS a BMW 318 though.... " Some 1982 Saab Accords ... " -> There are no Saabs like these, there are Honda's like these though.... "Owners of 1994 XJ6s and XJ12s " -> There is no Saab XJ6 or 12. There is Jaguar XJ6 though ... " Owners of Saab 911s " -> There is no Saab 911, there is Porsche 911 though ... But there is useful info in that article, just forget the Brand specific info. Regards, Richard.
