So the tow hook is now under the car, the only thing left is to replace a couple of the bolts with galvanized bolts with the proper strength rating once I have a chance to pop out to Masala. Örum is indeed the Bosal importer and they had the keys I needed (as well as a cover for when the hook is rem...

So a quick update - the bolts are indeed all standard. Getting the thing fitted was quite easy - biggest pain is getting the rear bumper shield off. Another challenge I hadn't anticipated was that I had to take the tow hook off in order to re-fit the bumper shield. Since I don't have a key (yet), th...

Not knowing what rating the original bolts have, I'd play safe and get bolts with 12.9 rating. You don't find them in Motonet or Bauhaus, but will get them cheap from a bolt shop. They're 50 % stronger than regular 8.8 rating bolts. Thanks for the tip! I popped by Motonet before seeing it and picke...

Hi, I posted here a while back about getting a tow hook. After a little negotiation on price, I bought one from varaosahaku and it arrived today and looks reasonably OK. Bit of rust on the plate that holds the electrical connector, but I'll brush that down and give it a quick spray of something prot...

I installed this set: http://www.rameder.eu/towbar-detachable-100962-04923-1.html http://www.rameder.eu/jaeger-automotive-electrical-set-108006-04923-5.html Almost invisible when removed and the electric set contains trailer module which you are going to need. Thanks - that looks like a decent alte...

"Myydään osina varaosa- ja kolariautot" = "Sold as parts spare- and crash cars" http://www.nettivaraosa.com/en/varaosa-ja-kolariautot/1996569 Yes - that was clear, but my assumption was that they don't want to sell only the parts, but get rid of the whole car (at least on the Du...

If you can get me an axle for a reasobale price, I'm always interested in doing business :wink: If I order something from there, I'll PM you - no plans to start an import/export business ;) http://www.nettivaraosa.com/varaosa-ja-kolariautot/1996569 Thanks, though I fear the man probably only wants ...

Bosal's customer care is crappy. They also have spare parts for these towbars, but won't deliver them to other than authorized resellers, which, again, they officially don't have in Finland. I drew that first conclusion also. Must be rough having too many happy customers... :wink: I'm not that both...

If the towbar is a Bosal removable towbar, you can get a new set of keys from Örum, which is the importer of Bosal in Finland. As far as I've understood the key code is the number stamped on the lock on the hitch. ... The price is a bit high in my opinion, too. Would also ask for a price for a bran...

Will do - I did that earlier for a set of roof bars, but it seems that saab parts isn't a buyer's market

Hi, I just bought a 2008 9-3 estate, and want to fit a towbar. Varaosahaku has only one, and the guy wants €250 for a removable towbar that he doesn't have keys for (which I guess makes it nonremovable). Nor does he have the plastic cap for the bumper, so I guess the missing key isn't a disaster, bu...

Sorry - still used to a small country (Netherlands) - Espoo

Hi, A few weeks ago, the hood on my 2005 SS wouldn't close after I refilled the windshield washer fluid. I used a screwdriver to slide the latches into place and thought no more about it. This weekend, I needed to replace a headlight, and discovered the hood no longer opens. After a lot of mucking a...

Thanks - it seems €160 was at the low end of the scrapyard price range! It may be cheaper to buy a second 9-3 for parts...

I found the PFS site, and noticed that Ebay also seems to be a good place to buy the mirrors.

So much for recycling...

Hi! Driving onto the highway on saturday night, I heard a *bang* and just saw the glass from my driver's side wing mirror blow onto the Turku motorway. I thought this was a minor inconvenience, but it turns out to be more of a pain: I called Jalonen this morning and they don't have the glass in stoc...
