    Seeing as its near the end of the year and all, I just thought I'd say thanks to ye all for the amount of help I've gotten off you all over the last year with both cars. This last year I've learned an absolute mountain of things just from, some would say "foolishly" buying a saab, but that in itself is what has taught me 90% of what I know now, along with some very helpful people on here, who more often than not helped me out when i was stuck the most, I think this picture sums up my year mechanically speaking, it was near the 10th of feburary and I needed to push on with getting the sump out, i got off the bus from college and it was snowing, most sensible people would have went inside and stayed warm but I spent a good 4 hours out under the car working away

    66j0gh.jpg

    Eventually the sump was cleaned out and everything put back together with the help of dgt and ybfocus, and I'll be forever grateful to the two of ye for that, you wouldnt find it anywhere else

    /soppy post :P

    My car is dying :( great

    Coolant in the oil, leaky crank seal, headgasket going, which will cost the guts of a grand to sort out

    And I know, I should have bought a "proper car"

    Sorry to hear about the car man.

    Did it just start springing leaks today or was it up and coming?

    It happened during the summer, then it stopped, now its gotten worse, the engine bay looks a state with the oil leaks, and this was just the icing on the top,

    However the events that have took place mean now I have two options, to swap over the parts, to the green one, or scrap the green one and insure myself on the other car if i can
