Enjoyable video. Personally I think the introduction of the 99 EMS and Turbo was the game changer for SAAB. I also liked the 900. Lovely cars. I was at a car show a couple of weeks ago and saw a 9000 (with a boot) and was surprised that people didn't know what it was. Fair enough i accept the young lad may not have been around when it was on the roads but his father would have been. Nice to see your 75 parked outside. Thanks for sharing.👍

Thank you for putting this up. I am currently in the process of changing all four headlight bulbs on my facelift 2005 Rover 75 CDTi and have been having some strobing issues. I'm using Philips Ulltinon Access LED bulbs. I fitted the H7s and H9s without resistors at first but the main beams strobed about 10 times after the ignition was switched on (lights off)). After I fitted generic resistor kits, all that happened was the dip lights also strobed! So thanks to your other High Beam video, I have ordered the same Philips canbus LED adapters for the H7, and also a set for the H9 bulbs. My question is: how were you able to have the new H9 bulbs working correctly without a canbus adapter? Thanks for your time.
@SvennsCarchannel7 ай бұрын
I dont know if they have a built in resistor but they work very well. Only thing that is annoying is that the cooling fans makes som frequency disturbance sound through the speaker system if you have a little volume on your stereo system. And the light output on the high beams isn’t all that great under dark and wet conditions to be honest. I will make a video of this shortly! I’m very happy with the dipped beam but not the high beams. They seem to work optimally only when they have a lot of snow to reflect on😕

Yes i know! I haven’t got a compression tester at the moment. It had the gasket and belt and water pump done by the previous owner about 6 months before it was taken off the road in 2019. It also had a new turbo shortly after as it failed and started pumping the catalyst and exhaust full of oil. So the catalyst and O2 sensor is likely to be defective. But I will make sure the gasket is actually all right. There is by the way no signs of coolant intrusion in to the cylinders.

@SvennsCarchannel9 ай бұрын
Head gasket was done 6 months before it was taken off the road in 2019. But just before it was put away the previous owner took it to vacation from Norway to Denmark where the turbo failed and soaked the catalyst and exhaust with oil. Turbo is replaced but catalyst and o2 sensor is permanently damaged. I have never driven this car and the time it’s running on the video is the only time I’ve seen it running since i bought it. Nothing done since as I don’t have time. Parked up in storage until spring arrives. Then I will get more in to it and start the “restoration”!

I see Huzzly Bear has standard reflectors and then you have to buy kit with D2R bulbs.
