Hi Saab fans,
Until this year my 9000 anninversay (113k) has given me 5 years of trouble-free, enjoyable motoring. This year it all started to go wrong.
Firstly, in March the head gasket blew and an exhaust section needed replacing. Well, £1100 later all was fine until about 3 months ago when I started geting problems starting the car. It would start and then die and then start second time. This went on until 4 weeks ago it would not start at all. THe AA diagnosed the fuel pump whch SAAB duly replaced. Three days later, again it would not start. This time SAAB changed the DI cassette and for a few weeks all was well. Yesterday, however, it would not start and now a "check radiator" light is coming on. I know very little about cars but the header tank is full.
I will get the AA to tow me to Saab again but having spent £1700 this year (surely more than it's value??) I am thinking is it time to get rid of it. I really love it and would hate to but can't go on pouring money down the drain.
If anyopne has any ideas I would be very grateful.
