1989 SAAB 9000 review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump.
Gear-box fell to bits after the flywheel fell off.
Power steering rack leaking.
Front wheel bearings.
Radiator/oil cooler became 1 milky reservoir!
General comments?
Considering the age and mileage, all of the above are to be expected, but the cost of repairing is the killer.
