A little catch up.
Hi all,
It's been a while since I was last on here. No longer owning a Saab does this to a person apparently!
I still haven't got round to getting another Swede yet although I am looking. As the Citroen has decided that it doesn't seem to like going back to its home country.
The last Saab I had, I bought for £500, 1998 (S-reg). It ran to Spain and back twice and never bothered with any slight worry at all. The Citroen 2008 (58plate) £5000. So far in the last 12mths I've spent more on it than the 2 previous years with the Saab.
While on holiday the CV boot retaining clip snapped which at the end cost €232 for new boot, cleaning brakes and area etc. A/C has given up the ghost in minimum 28 degree heat up to 41 degrees. Yet no fault can be found with the system.
I also ended up with a hydraulic/steering leak from around the steering rack. Worse case £1000 plus to fix.
There are a couple in the family who strictly believe that a newer car is a better car, cheaper to run and maintain.
I'm just waiting to sell on our little Peugeot 206 to give me some space in the garage for my next project.More things change. The more they stay the same.
