    2.0 or 2.4

    Yes it's got 15" wheels. With the tyre profile it has the same circumference as the 17's they replaced though. The 2.0 5 Speed Saab I came from was doing 2300 RPM at 70.

    2.0 or 2.4

    Just got back from a drive and it was doing 1850 at an indicated 40mph in 5th and my speedo over reads by some way and I am on the correct tyres. So indicated 70 is 3237 75 - 3469 80 - 3700 and I don't think that's even 75mph, more like 72/73

    Cycle rack on tourer

    Definitely get a tow bar one. So easy and secure compared to a strap on tailgate one.

    2.0 or 2.4

    Check all you like, I've been driving the thing for years and I'm right. My 2.0 2005 manual Tourer revs it's nuts off when cruising.

    2.0 or 2.4

    Get a 2.0 Tourer if you want the performance of a decent Transit van. Otherwise get the 2.4. The gearbox in the 2.0 is woeful aswell, revving it's nuts off cruising at 75.

    No tow bar I'm guessing?

    LPG or Diesel? which is more efficient? opinions please.

    I'm on LPG aswell. I really couldn't afford to buy a cheap diesel, the thought of the the cost of the DPF's and DMF's worries me.

    6x9 wire adapter

    Yes the 'adaptors' are called wire cutters. Cut the end off the existing wire, leaving some cable spare to rejoin them in the future if you need to. Bare the wires and crimp on the relevant size crimps for the speaker terminals.

    2.4 Decat

    Get an old cat, smash the guts out, then when anyone looks underneath for the MOT its still got a cat on.

    Water near my spare wheel.

    Dont know where its coming from but some talcum powder in some strategic places should show you which way it's entering.

    Marks on clear headlight covers

    As hole says any fine abrasive should do it. High grade wet and dry sand paper (wet obv), try toothpaste or even T cut

    Subwoofer With factory radio

    You can but isn't the factory sub an 8" sub? Very doubtful that the amp that powers it would be good enough to drive a larger speaker and it will just distort.

    Tyre Time...

    I'm changing tyres very soon and going for some Falken Euro All Season tyres as they'll be ideal with the upcoming weather - They have scored very well in the Bildt tests.

    How many speakers does my car have

    To much hassle for me to give up on the idea. Much easier to fit a headunit in the lower cubby. I have installed a sub using high level inputs though, sounds great.

    Water Leak - 7th Gen

    After the rain yesterday I'm in my car this morning with drips coming out of the Airbag sign on the A Pillar on the drivers side. I suspect it has something to do with the door rubber drains or the sunroof drains, anyone experienced this? Will be interesting when/if the water shorts the airbag...
