Thought it sounded to good to be true, It was sunday 19th May when I got the quote. Had not heard anything from Kwik Fit by wednesday so rang them up..'oh sorry mate we were that busy I forgot to order the part, give me your name and number again'. Gave name and number 'I'm ordering the part as we s...

I was near our local Kwik Fit in Glossop today so called in out of interest really to get a price for having a new cast elbow fitted. we are hoping to go away for a weekend soon so fancied getting it done ASAP. I was quoted £114 including the part VAT and labour, £90 if I booked it in there and then...

Hi adrian

yep thats the part thats giving me Gip, Haynes manual refers to it as 'manifold' in the diagram they have under the exhaust section. The rest of the exhaust is in very good condition. If just this part could be replaced i would be very happy. thanks for the link Paul

Hi all All the time I have had the van (just over 2 years) the cast iron section of my exhaust (manifold) has been blowing. It has been an advisory at MOT time for the last 3 years as a 'slight escape of exhaust gases'. I have been given a price of £53 for a new part but how involved is fitting it?,...

Hi all Thanks for the response, SAAB now fixed, took it to a saab specialist In Glossop.

Richard Elliot the owner at SAAB Tech rang us a few hours later to say it was fixed £110.10p....

Hi all My wife bought herself a 2005 SAAB 93 convertable in 2008 when she took early retirement as a treat to herself for 35 years service to Lloyds TSB. We have had nothing but trouble with the car ever since, weve had a front spring snap, boot popping open whilst on the move, the complete 'Infotai...

Hi there, I've replaced my torn roof lining with thin plywood done in 2 piece's from the B post (front seat belt mounting post) to c post, to rear door hatch. I had to screw a batton to roof rib at c post to join the 2 halves. Reason being you can't buy a sheet of ply long enough to do it in one go,...

H Meggles Stayed on this Site a few years ago before we got the van, I went for a shower one very sunny night when I came out you could only see as far as the playground for sea mist or fret as they call it on the east coast. Had to grope my way back to tent, heard shouting and laughing early in the...
