CD Changer Spindle Motor failure

Hi,
I'm calling for the help of any US Saab-central members. I need a new Spindle Motor for the 6 CD Changer fitted to my 9-3 Convertible Aero. The Changer is a Clarion PU-2426A and the Spindle Motor part number is SMA-196-100.
It isn't available in the UK and US stockists won't dispatch to me in the UK. Clarion won't help either, seem they would rather I spent £200 on a new unit.
Basically, I'm asking anyone in the US if they can order the part for delivery to them and then dispatch it to me. Natually I will cover all cost plus extra for a few beers.
Please PM me is you can help me with this.
Below is a link to a supplier's list of parts available for the PU-2426A changer. I just need a Spindle Motor.

Thanks

I sent an enquiry from their website and they told me whey wouldn't supply parts for units factory fitted to cars and that I would I have to contact Saab.
That result in a quote for around £250 all in for a replacement changer.
Managed to find a .pdf service manual for the unit and from that was able to find the Clarion part number for the Spindle Motor. Incidently, 'CD Error' on SID is usually as a result of the Spindle Motor failing to spin the disc and is confirmed by operating the unit with the cover off. If the disc doesn't spin unaided when CD is selected, either the motor or motor controller are at fault. The motor is easy and cost effective to replace.
Anyway, contacted Clarion again on their website. This time they told me they couldn't supply any parts but could repair the unit under an exchange program and gave a telephone number for me to arrange this.
I used the phone number to order the part I wanted. (bloody cheek eh?!) Amount saved: £230! Look on the steeler's face right now? PRICELESS! Look on Clarion's face right now? Couldn't give a s**t!
Phone Number for Clarion Service is: 01285 861861 and as soon as I find the Service Manual, I'll attach it to this thread.

Mine would come up with 'CD Error' very infrequently but suffered no jumping. The error message got worse until it stopped working altogether. If you could 'kick start' the disc spinning, it would work. The motor appears electrically fine but I've had this before with 'safe' motors with Central Locking units. The motor would spin fine with no physical load but didn't work under normal load conditions. Replacing those motors in two doors cost around £6 from Maplins but saved me hundreds.
I have attached a pic of the label on the CD Changer. It shows both the Clarion Model Number and the Saab Part Number. I've lost the .pdf service manual on my system but the Spindle Motor part number is SMA-185-100

Yeah, You're not wrong. I really like my car but can't remember when I last listened to some decent tunes with faffing about with Mp3 players in the Aux socket.
Could do with a changer with mp3 disc compatibility preferably DVD or even a hard drive unit.
