Anyone have a 10mm Square Drive? Or know where to get one? Most motor factors dont have one and I don't want to go spending a fortune buying a kit with them all in it. Reluctant to use a 3/16th head.

My fault. I checked it once quite a long time ago and it turned up as the highest tax band. I was wrong.

Now there is nothing stopping you from getting your dream car.:D

A woosh, loss of power and inability to Rev is a common one on the turbo scene
I'd reckon you've blown off a intake hose, jubilee clip moved out of place or gave, pipe split etc.

Big wooshes and coils don't go together.
You'll get a misfire reading as the lack of air needed to burn the fuel will cause one.

I'd be 99% site on that too

I want to check but I've feck all time to do it, any days i have are taken up by this hoorin project im doing at the minute

and i kinda need the car too

Will the car idle? It should if it's what I'm describing. Should be perfect or very close at idle.

Then as you Rev it will start to boost, the second the engine adjusts for boost and doesn't get it then it will start to miss and break down coupled with the leak wooshing the pressurised air out.

2 seconds outside with your Bro revving the car to pinpoint any leak will see you nail it.

Arrgh my bad. I mean a 3/8th!

Need a 10mm male square drive for the Jimny Gearbox. A 3/8th is almost right but people on the suzuki forums have rounded the plug using a 3/8th extension bar etc.

Right yoke for the job I'm looking for.

tried that! it only seems to happen around the 60mph mark it will not go past 60mph for the life of it, and if it does it goes mental, when i have a day free, ill dig deeper, glad it doesnt seem like nothing too serious though

Also it idles perfectly as if nothings wrong with it at all

Brake booster?

Happened to me in the 406, massive split and a horrible whoosing noise. It was a split pipe to the intercooler....

Bpmull · 02-11-2014 11:18PM

Are the haynes workshop manual any good. I'm thinking of getting one is it just basic servicing it covers or more a general overview. In other words are they worth getting.

That's good to hear ill definitely pick one up so. As I'll be going doing the next service myself as my uncle done last one just because he had a lift which meant he could properly check all the suspension and it underneath. There a fairly straight forward to service anyway. Not like the focus with its oil filter buried in under the air filter housing that yoke was fiddly enough all I was used to it after a few services.

Just looked there the manual is down to 20 quid on micksgarage

I have to say tp I admire the way that after all the hardship and problems you've had with that Saab that even now when it happens you are still able to be positive and not get really wound up or annoyed over it you just fix it up and move on. It's a great way to be.

I didn't have half the problems with my focus and by the end of that year it had my head absolutely wrecked. For all the problems and hardship you've had with both the saabs it's made you very knowledgable and mechanically able with cars in general

I've one but I'm down in cork until friday. Got it in a set on micks garage. http://www.micksgarage.com/proddetails.aspx?pid=1639824

CianRyan · 03-11-2014 09:04AM

Halfords to spares if you don't mind mixing brands.
Their pro range is great.

Mycroft H · 03-11-2014 03:27PM

The set on micks garage doesn't have a Square Drive 10mm; it has a hex drive 10mm. Same with halfords.

nd · 03-11-2014 03:42PM

Would a 1/2 " one do?

Get yourself a bigger one (1/2 inch) adaptor and use angle grinder/file to make 10mm square.
