I made this mistake of not using a two stoke Saab for some months. It messed up the engine because of it’s open ports. Apparently when not in use you should choke the engine with oil to preserve it."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment

Since GM bought them, they have just been re-badges Vectra's.
Prior to that was when they were individual cars.Last edited by Clippy; 18 December 2009, 17:22.Comment

Originally posted by Sysman View PostI think they had free wheeling hubs 'cos two strokes don't like engine braking. I vaguely remember a complaint that their brake pads didn't last long as a result.
There was a lever to select free wheel or fixed. It had nothing to do with engine braking on two stroke engines and the same mechanism was fitted to the Ford V4 engine on later models. The free wheel aided economy and helped on icy roads. (free wheel on ice gives maximum grip). Good points on the old 95s and 96s were that most components were adjustable and serviceable. Eg grease points and shim adjustments on ball joints. I never need to change any parts other than consumables."A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims, but accomplices," George OrwellComment
