Well all seems to be okay, its done about 30 miles today with no mjor problems, the oil light is flickering but has plnty of oil so im guessing th spray of AF has probably covered the sender unit and is causing th flickering

Well i reckon its about 95% there, the auto isnt changing into top under heavy load 5k@95mph should be another change but i think its still a little shy on fluid. Unfortunatly the old hot and cold lines are gone and now there is min and max at 65˚C so i added a little more and will try again tomorrow

Moose are in Sweden but it doesn't mean I want to own one

After the 93's poor sales and the new Caddy's bombing it's more a case of GM wanting to sell Saab to the Swedish government

excelent news - looks a nice car

I really dont know why GM purchased SAAB unless it was for the Turbo engineering saab being the 1st turbo production car

Ditto

There is no place for small volume manufacturers within the big car building companies, hence the reason Ford has sold AM & Jaguar/Land Rover.

In trying to drive Saab sales up all GM has done is remove all the quirky Saab bits & bobs, which were why people bought them in the first place
