The Saab has been to the coast twice in the last month plus a trip to Bath and i developed some intermittent problems engaging certain gears (normally when trying to reverse park on a busy road...) and the exhaust was suddenly catching on speed bumps. A quick look underneath and i discovered a knackered gear linkage coupling and a broken rubber silencer mount. So as i already had a morning appointment on Saturday near Reading i kept heading west afterwards and squeezed in a couple hours work in the sunshine. Whilst i was under the car i also installed new exhaust clamps as there was a minor leak and stole a better washer pump motor from my dad's spares as mine was on it's way out. Also replaced the old worn out plugs which unsurprisingly has resulted in better running. Sadly run out of time to fit the new Aero springs on the back and sort the new bonnet gaps but i have the dent man booked in for the end of next month so i'll do them then.
