A busy day at the office!
This is a nice old 95 and now it's been here for a week or so it's running a lot better.
I get this quite often; a pretty solid V4 but one that's not been looked at by a specialist for years and years. Things are fitted wrongly and all the tuning is miles out. This 95 has had a re-con gearbox, new carb, new clutch, recon alternator and new balance shaft bearings.
With all that work done it now has a chance of pulling the skin off a rice pudding!
From the old to the (quite) new. The 9-3 SportsSaloons are pretty good and now that they're getting on a bit we're finding that they're reliable so long as you keep on top of any electronic problems that may crop up. I can undertake any servicing or repair work that you may need and I have an excellent sub-contractor who is an expert in Saab electronics so we have these cars covered.
If you have a 1.9TiD don't neglect the cam-belt or the water pump. Change them at about 60,000 miles and it'll cost about £250. Wait until one or the other breaks and it'll cost more than £1,000.
