lord alone knows how you end up there on a relatively straight road with no other traffic involved   :-X :y

It is a particularly fast and tricky bend as you pass Tramways. It's even worse if the N/S brake pad falls out and tears the valve out of the wheel when you try to slow down, but that has nothing to do with this crash ;D


it aint that 'fast' , or 'tricky' if your speed meets the conditions and err the speed limit of that time lol :y

The SAAB 9-5 was also available with the Isuzu V6 Diesel.
There are reports, on the saab forums, of inadequate cooling (in the SAAB) leading to the liners dropping and causing head gasket failure. They also note that the engine seems to be OK in the Signum and surmise that the cooling is OK in the Signum.

My local VX dealer reckons that it is easier to get parts for an Omega than it is for a Signum, despite the Omega having been out of production for over 10 years

That surely can only be relevant to body panels and trim as the rest of the running gear is common to loads of the Marque.

It is a more upmarket Vectra C estate at the end of the day


it is BUT the signum drives a little better (if that is possible) stay away from the 2.2 direct petrol
:-X



Did they release one as the price of those fuel pumps could write a car off

Built into the Astra phone system are some useful sms codes:

ATD - at the doctors
BTW - bring the wheelchair
WTL - where's the lubricant
ISMSA - I've shit myself again
WTFMT - where the f***'s my teeth.
No phone system in mine  :P


There is in mine and trust me I think it might have been removed from a maxi as it is quite honestly shockingly bad  >:(

One written off car today was a 66 plate Audi Q5 S-line, £65k worth 9 days old, less than 1500 miles & he found out how good (or not) its 4wd was  :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

these people don't understand ok you have 4wd BUT the same rules apply when stopping....the car cannot defy the basic laws of physics
