9-5 Stereo issues

I don’t normally publish this sort of thing but this one’s a little strange and fascinating.
In via email from Michael, a problem with the entertainment system in a 2006 9-5, which he refers to as the ‘Premium 200′:

If I play an MP3 CD-R and turn off the ignition without removing the key the radio system [...]

SVC not dead yet

Thanks to Kyle for sending me a link that should give us all a little hope.
The link is to what is (to me at least) a fairly uninteresting article at GreenCarCongress. It’s about a new type on injector that’ll be formulated for more oomph as well as for use with either Biopower or gasoline.
That’s [...]

I made first mention of a diesel possibility for Australia early in July. I’m pleased to report that it’s now confirmed with press releases [...]

Irish Saab stuff

I received an email from Robbie the other day. He’s a Saab guy. Here’s his Combi….

A nice looking ride, as all Combis are. Many of us can currently get a Combi that looks like Robbies, except only the Europeans can get their SID to say this:
