That's an old joke. The first time I heard it was on a prank call on youtube the women on the other end was in stitches and even said to the guy at the end that he made her day.0 -

Right lads I'm in a bit of a situation
I'm getting a few bits and bobs for the old 900, problem is, being the age it is parts aren't so readily available
the local motorfactors could only source two of 14 things I'm after and I'm waiting on another to get back to me, so I went online
Partsforsaabs has 90% of the things I need for the princely sum of 232 euro so that would be
And shipping
These guys are tied to saab themselves apparently so i know I'm getting the right things, however, good ol reliable neo bros have a similar thing going on
the list for them amounts to about 125 euro with shipping
1 x Water Drainage Cover (On Block), Genuine Saab 900 Classic 86-93 £23.94
1 x Rotor Arm, Alternative Saab 900 Classic 16v & 9000 £11.94
1 x Distributor/Rotor Cap, Alternative Saab 900 Classic & 9000 - 93 £5.34
1 x Gasket valve Cover, Alternative Saab 900, 9000 86-93, B202 £8.34
1 x Coolant Pump, Alternative Saab 900 Classic 82-93 £25.80
1 x Thermostat Kit, Genuine 900 Classic, 9000, NG900, 9-3 & 9-5
They don't have the oil switch or o2 sensor however they have a drainage cover which are known to go bad on these, I could just order this separately i know, but I'm not paying nearly 60 euro for one part
And last but not least keeping it "local" I had a look at micksgarage who I haven't had the best experience with in the past, but the cheapest at 88 euro, but again missing a few things
So people what do?0 -
Pick B!!
How would one work things out in this situation. Person wants to get wheels off Done Deal, wheels are for sale in Donegal, person lives in Mayo. Drive is 4 hours away, so that is out. Courier works out at €25 on a quick check. How would one pay for said wheels, without meeting the seller, and be sure that they don't take the money and keep the wheels

But will have to do the brakes soon.
think I'll do a brake and suspension overhaul in a few weeks time.
New brakes front and back (poxy shoes and drums) front ball joints/tie rod ends and track rods, front droplinks , 4 new tyres and a tracking.
wonder how easy all that is . Never done a ball joint before or track rod but i think its just screwing them off ?
balljoints can be a prick to tighten as the inner ball can spin sooner than the nut can actually tighten. Keep the hub weighted to keep pressure on it. As for track rods, mark the position of the nut with tippex or such so you can replace it close to the same point and not affect tracking too much until you can get it tracked

Cheers for the tippex idea but I'll be throwing out the track rods too :P
I wonder how easy it is to do that list just by jacking up the front of the car.....was hoping wouldnt need special tools
I know brakes to be simple !0 -

That was quite the loooool OSI
but it's a kick in the face when the Merc is cheaper to insure than a 1.6 156.... Maybe they're anticipating an overuse of breakdown assistance 
In other news, I've been busy studying for repeats. Booo
woke up this morning, eyes in bits like I was still stocious on waking, think I need to tone the laptop usage down seeing as last night there was some welding done, that wouldn't have helped either! So all of today I've been wearing sunglasses and blinking like I've had a glass of potín :pac:
A nice relaxing day today, putting a belt and pump on an Alfa 3.0 V6. Help me
At least I have lots of company in the form of pigeons
And just like old times, theres a 406 parked at the field across my house, for farming work in the field :cool:0
