First off - Thanks very much to everyone who has helped with this. The possiblility of a leaky clutch struck a chord... I had clutch problems about a year ago when it all but packed in (obviously it waited until I was at a very busy junction in rush hour).. somehow managed to limp home and then got it towed to the nearest Saab dealer. £280 later they had managed to replace a bit of shattered tubing, with no guarantee it would last.... What I now believe happened is that clutch fluid did manage to find its way under the carpet, and has lurked there ever since.. Haven't actually tasted it (sorry to let you down there Keith), but it does the same kind of oily consistency. Note to Dave - doesn't seem to have stripped the paint... but it's definitely discoloured. Anyway - cleaned it all up as best I can. Will keep an eye on it when the family takes a week's holiday in the rainy North West of Scotland. Thanks once again for all your help :) Cheers Mark
