Hi Mitja - sorry, I couldn't find either of the part numbers you mention for the ECU in my EPC, relating to 1990-93 cars. Could you please give us all the info off the label? However, you may have answered your own question - if the car really does have the wrong ECU (fuel or ignition), the wrong plugs (your friend could start by changing those to 6's, at minimal cost) and a failed cat, the mileage could be high!
By the way, you mention the "MOT" - are you in the UK, and if so are you quoting Imperial or US gallons? Also, is this a manual or an automatic?
A good source for used but tested parts in the UK is Simply Saab in Bristol, see link. They might have the right ECU once you establish what it is. You might be lucky enough to find the cat on a well-known auction site. Alternatively, neobrothers.co.uk might well help. Any of these sources will presumably ship to other countries, at a price of course.
