There's one for sale in holland : HERE

Did u try to start the car by pushing it/let it go down the road ?

If the starter motor is dead, the car should start anyway.
If no fuel comes to the engine and the car refuses to start, the immobilizer might prevent the engine from receiving fuel.

2 is an additional heating system. 3 is fuel warming system 4 (sound weird to me ... :? ) is a digital clock. But with a closer look it seems to have controls for a warming system. Despription of 5 says it's purpose is to prevent water, snow and dust from coming into the engine bay + prevents vapor ...

I'm interested in one too if shipping is possible to Belgium. BTW, you're talking about the upper bonnet air intake, which is not really a snow cover.

I knew I had to get a custom manifold adapter ... it will take more time. I'm not planning to turn my 480 into a drag racer ! I'm looking for replacement part that would improve the performances for the same price as the refurbished original one. If I need to change almost everything in my engine in...

:D Thanks for your reply ! So far, if I go for saab parts I think it will be enough work to fit the T3 in. :? I was at first planing to do the same ECU modification as forum member Martin Person ( check here section modified ECU ). Plus adding such a thing to act as MBC. A friend of mine did that on...
