*sigh*
I got my car back tonight, picked it up outside Dads yard where it is pitch black, jumped in it...instantly remembered why I love it. Anyway, got home, then when reversing on the driveway as I'm using my wing mirrors alot I thought "I swear this is cleaner than when I gave it to him" Got out, checked round it...it's been washed! the hell?! And it's been done with a freaking sponge...put it this way, it doesn't look like the OP anymore :( As ungrateful as it sounds...I really really wished it hadn't have been done. The paintwork was mint, about 5 million layers of wax on it, all I had to do was maintain it, quick 30 minute wash each weekend, done. Now the paintwork is freakin horrid to touch, was smoother than a babys arse before and its full of little lines in the paintwork :cry: I text Dad asking why did he wash it (he knows I'm a bit anal when it comes to that car) he said he didnt, Jack (his brother who works with him) did it as he had nothing else to do. I know I sound ridiculously ungrateful and I'll give it a proper wash this weekend and assess the damage in the daylight but I genuinely wish he hadn't of done it. :cry: Ah well...hopefully me sweating my bollocks off waxing it this weekend will help it out. |
nice clean car pal

Thankfully, it's fixed 90% of the hairline scratches on it :) Going on from that, I serviced the car this weekend and I'm happy to report its running like a dream, replaced that damn SAI valve that needed doing and it pulls like a train right through the rev range in all gears now :) result. Will be quiet for the month now, next month it's: New tyres all round Laser alignment to ensure all is well, if not make corrections where needed MOT Tax And investigate the knocking noise coming from the front right corner.... I sense another expensive month lol. |
Any history on your Saab? The reason I ask is there was a problem with front suspension - the springs can break, it was nearly a recall buy Saab but they didn't in the end. For a while they honoured replacing them but I had to pay for ours :(

Ok, looked through the history, no sign of replacement springs. So chances are it's a snapped spring.
If so I'll get them both done. |
