Do I have a complaint? I think you have a very unwell car. I would look for any significant dripping of oil, and it it is not there then the oil is getting burned (it shouldn't). > To make matters worse I now have a battery light coming on, I'm not sure if > the battery isn't holding charge or something isn't charging the battery. Probably just alternator brushes or the alternator itself. > Any ideas how I can tell without spending cash at a garage? I'm pretty broke > and struggling to keep the car on the road for work. I think you have got the wrong car. Keeping an old SAAB running and not DIYing it will be expensive! Too expensive! Regards Charles -- Please remove _removeme_ to reply.
