A final legacy of our London adventure drew to a close this
week. The Saab went in for a long
overdue service. While it was in the
workshop the UK dashboard cluster was swapped out for a metric unit. The cluster was originally changed to secure a
UK registration. Since then we’ve driven around with a speedometer displaying
imperial and metric speed, while the odometer kept score in miles.
The Saab’s done just over 32,000km. As a result the latest service was rather
involved. The brakes were relined and
discs renewed, steering pins were replaced, the electric window setting adjusted
and pretty much every filter replaced.
The car spent almost four days in the workshop before emerging as good
as new. We’re now $3,000 poorer!

Cheaper than buying a new one and at 32,000 kms
(of which we did 2) it's just broken in.
It'll be just like new.
