I'm not an expert, but a while back I remember that someone else had similar problems with a Saab at similar mileage, and I thought that it was a sign that the DI Casette was starting to fail? Can the repair-shop test this part to see if it's a problem, or is it a "I dunno, you could always replace it with a new one" kind of thing? I bring this up, because when my casette went on my 9-3 at 84K or nearabouts, the car suddenly lost power while I was driving on a highway, and that was not a completely pleasant experience. And apparently, this is a known issue with Saab electronics (which Canada's "Lemon Aid" series of car guides has been slamming Saab for, for years). Can an expert comment on this issue, to make sure we get the straight dope, please? Fred? Thanks! -- Viktor
