John, yeah he's going to fit a new sender, and I'll have my specialists check it out anyway. There is a warranty, for what it's worth. Deal is done now. The good lady liked the colour, and I was happy with the dealers attitude. He's in town, spent 12 years as a Saab sales manager and seems genuine. His place has been running as long as I've lived here, (since 2002) and he always has a few Saabs on the forecourt. The balance of posts here, the probability that it is just a dodgy sender, good history file and a HPI check confirming mileage along with clear registers on theft, finance etc means I have done the deal. Thanks for all your input folks. AL (Anyone in North West England want a NG900?)
