XM Bought means Saab For Sale

I am just embarking on my fourth spell of XM ownership, with the hope and intention that this time it will be a lasting relationship! I have bought a magenta 2.1 SED from South Yorkshire and will be taking delivery (making collection really) in just over a week's time. When it is in my possession, I shall post more information and pictures, along with requests for help in sourcing one or two little bits to complete that package for example the plastic cover for the height control switch is missing in action, and while it still works it doesn't look good.

In the meantime, I am going to have sell mky Saab 9-5 to fund the purchase. I won't bang on about it but if you know of anyone who might be interested ere is the link to the ad: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p

PM for details.

Hope I'm not offending anyone with this, but I didn't want to let this XM slip away from me.

The colour is Mandarin Red, not Magenta.

This isn't Steve's car is it, how many 2.1SED can there be in S.Yorks?

As Campbell surmised, it was on fleabay. High(ish) mileage but only two owners and a comprehensive service history. Looking forward to the drive home next Thursday :-)

'Fraid I don't know Steve or his car.

Good to hear, it's definitely worth more than that.

Excellent. I was admiring it on e-bay at the weekend.

I have a height selector if that one bugs you too much.

I shall probably get back to you on that one, Robert when I have picked the car up. Thanks.

I think I had to change the height selector on my first Mandarin Turbo SD.
