Replacement would turn a reasonably priced car into a dear one, and in reality is probably not an economical proposition, which is a shame.

there's a very good Saab garage in Milton keynes, the Saab Centre - saabmiltonkeynes.co.uk - found them very good and very fair prices. There's also a specialist breaker - Neo Brothers just off the M25 at J25.
Worth talking to both.
I had 2.3 Aero HOT 9-5 estate, which went like a rocket. My wife still drives i
it's predecessor, another 9-5 estate 2.0, but with a factory remap to 190bhp.
vast difference in handling, as the 2 litre was just standard SE tyres and suspension - the Aero was very hard, and cornered much flatter.
