It gets better. My first Slaab was a misery, but I loved it so much I bought another (and another). Remember the advice I gave you right back then when the Skoda went out and the Saab came in? Love this one .. Get bitten and but a good one later :) I can't begin to tell you the misery I went through with my first one and I'm nowhere near as mechanically competent as you. I'm sure you know by now that Saab people fix things that don't need fixing. We fix things before they break. I've had about a year fixing things on the front-end of my Orca. I'm nearly there now - drive shafts, CV joints, boots, wheel bearings, tyres, ball joints, etc. Now all that's fixed, I can hear another problem - My slave cylinder and/or clutch release bearing has gone ... I know I can leave it for another few months, because my last 900 made the same kind of noises for the year and a bit I owned it, but I just want it fixed on this one. It's a pain, but just remember - if you don't go through all this, you don't get to drive a Saab. Those good runs just makes it all worth it :) Try a NA C900 8V next. Nothing like the kind of heartache that you get with a turbo and/or 16V. Not quite as fast and you'll always remember how fast the turbo was, until you get another one, but they're damn good fun all the same. Hang in there dude.
