What's the genuine Saab price ? I had to replace my 9000's radiator last year and expected it to be pricey but got several quotes in the £120~130 region. More than I wanted to pay but less than I had expected. A water pump ( recon ) was only about £40. I was pleasantly surprised. Maybe the Saab bearing is an oddball size and not made in quantity, whereas the BMW part is a common size used in many vehicles and benefits from 'economy of scale' pricing ? Graham
