Cobra themselves can be quite handy. IIRC they're not a million miles
from you, and are pretty useful on the phone provided you can prove who
you are and that the car is yours.

Cheers Pete, will just have to get deafened while I stick my head
arround the horn trying to model/code of the alarm.

There's a bloke here who might be able to help

I'm pretty sure it is the non-cobra replacement that is buggered so I
guess I'm in for a fisting.
The receipt for the last one was £40 code extraction and £35 for the
fob.


You may just need to re-synch the fob. Normally an easyish job.

I've emailed the sellers/makers to see what they suggest. It says
instructions supplied, and I think they may be in the glovebox, but, it
has a programming interface on the side.

All original, no mods, except the boot lid is a different colour.
The Aero has to stay. I just need to sort out this alarm.

The Saab mechanics are all good, as checked out at the service/HG work
last week.

That's not worth £1500 for a start, plus, IME "leaky radiator" is soon
followed by head gasket failure on T16s. Happened to me twice. On top of
that, it's the "ugly" 900 saloon. Ugh.

Yep, I'll second that "Order a HG kit, you're gonna need it"...

Definitely overpriced, compared to my £500 3dr.

I've been looking for one for ages, not seen one at the price you paid. I
should never have sold my last one :-(
