the coil pack cartridge (D.I cartridge) to go, they tend to go at
arround 100k ish. Quite often, regular owners replace the current one
early, and keep it in the boot as a spare, because the new ones don't
last as long as the originals. They then swap it over if they still have
the car when the new one fails, and get a new one ASAP.

Normally the rubber parts fail, and polybushed.

Never seen the mount rip itself off.

Wasn't owned by a Mr Jones from the South of England was it?

It may be fixed for now but you created a fine spot where it will rust
as hell.

Why didn't you just buy or make another bracket?

The more I am confronted with the "English" way of repairs, maintenance
and restauration, the more I see things done for today that will
scrapped tomorrow. I would be very surprised if the weld is clean or
that the underside of the bracket is welded too.

Any car I inspect and I see such repairs, that particular car isn't a
car anymore but a parts-carrier.

That is the big job apart from bushes and fly by wire throttle that goes
on them.

The TCS models can be a pain because the car into limp home, but that is
related to the fly by wire anyway.

Or
http://www.saabcentral.com
http://www.saabscene.com
or http://www.uksaabs.co.uk/ (linked to the UK Saab club)
for forums.
Found this one http://www.saabforums.com/ too, but never used it.

http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/ (and the whole of Saabnet) is very good
for information, but if you link to anything he doesn't like (and that
can be anything), or post in the alt.autos.saab (which he mirrors over
the web) anything he doesn't approve of, or even mention another Saab
site that isn't one of his sponsors, he will block your access, probably
block your whole ISPs access because he is a dumbfuck, and remove or
alter any posts to his bulletin board, and censor/edit/remove any posts
you made that are in his mirror of usenet. And his decission is final.
