Newbie saying hello

[Surfer Ross]

Hi all,

I was directed to this fine forum by my brother who used to have a Surf 2.4TD. I am currently on the lookout for a nice Surf 3.0TD. I own a Saab 9-5 2.3T HOT Aero estate at the moment which I will have to sell unless somebody would like a swap.

Happy to be here and looking forward to a long stay on the forum.

Ross

Hi Ross, welcome to the asylum - just remember that some of the guys in the white coats are inmates not staff !

Did a few months in Catterick in the late 80's

Thanks

I was trying to get a reasonable insurance quote for a Surf, an exercise in futility, almost. Got one for £355 with Adrian Flux, fully comp and protected no claims, seems reasonable.

Many thanks Bob. I am currently an inmate of the thoroughly delightful place that is Bourlon Barracks. I did my training here in 1997 and the difference now is unbelieveable, you wouldn't recognise it.

Welcome to "the" Forum Ross, now ya found us...ya won't wanna leave in a hurry !!! even those that sold their Trucks keep re-visiting

There's always a Payback .... Just don't expect a warning !!!!

[si tate]

Welcome mate.

A word of warning, be careful what you say cos they fine you for breathing on this forum, apart from that its great, there's always people willing to help you out.

[Surfer Ross]

Thanks for all the kind comments

I'm now the proud owner of a '94 Surf SSRV Limited 3.0TD

Its Green over Silver and has covered a paltry 65000 miles with good history. Runs great with no overheating and looks pretty nice too. I think it may have belonged to a forum member in the past as it has been very well cared for. I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Thanks again,

Ross

[blackpoolsparks]

Well done mate
Looking forward to the pics and welcome to the forum.

[Surfer Ross]

Well, slightly later than planned, here are the pics. Gave her an oil and filter change today along with new air filter, fuel filter and I replaced the Auto transmission fluid that was in the drain pan. It was still quite pink so I saw no point in draining the whole system.

As I said before, I am pretty sure this has been a forum member's truck in the past.

Hope you like:

[That Ruddy Squirrel]
