BTW, there's been one follow-up so far to the posting about the new page on Saabscene. The poster suggested that the heater core can be dropped out with the valve still attached (after getting the hose pipes through the firewall) by removing four screws. I will need to have a better look to see today. In one of the pictures I put online I think it shows a screw fixing (one of those little folded metal 'screw clip' things) on the heater core cover which doesn't have any screw in it. I wonder if that's one of the 'four screws' that John is talking about in his Saabscene thread followup? With the engine oil also out of the car (see another posting in my forums and Saabscene about oil drain plugs!), I have time to contemplate other things. 8-) If I get to buy some synthetic oil today I'll take the old drain plug and compare it against a new 14 mm one at the auto parts store. Seems that most people think they're 13 mm, but someone said it should be 14 based on a web reference to a US auto parts supplier. Anyway, that's disgressing from the heater valve issue...
