Peter - I certainly would recommend getting a new DI Cassette as you are on borrowed time, and blessed I'd say as you've gotten this far with the original! But, you cannot assume this is the reason for your engine not starting. In both Saabs I own, only one of them gave even the remotest sign of a dying fuel pump - my C900. My NG900 fuel pump lasted within 5K miles of the C900 fuel pump (same crap Walbro pump..hmmm) and died right on the NJ Turnpike in the pouring rain. NOT fun! But there was nothing but the same signs you've described in your post.
With any automotive problem, you must do a series of basic steps first to try and isolate a problem. If your engine will start but not turn over, the most basic of steps is to check for fuel on the rail. On my C900 (and I can't imagine my NG900 is much different)this is roughly 30psi worth of fuel upon engine start up. Thus, if you loosen the rail, you'll see a GOOD amount of fuel come spraying out of the line. This is a simple check and one that can rule out another common failure in 100K+ mileage Saabs. Of course a few good thumps with a rubber mallet on the underside of the fuel tank might also help you isolate this problem.
Good luck and let us know what the diagnosis was. Take care, David
