guys im out in austria with the roadster and my big end bearings have gone. i have limited internet access but basically i need a set of con rod big end bearings for my roadster

the engine is a SAAB b204 out of a 1996 saab 9000 2.0 turbo 184bhp. if anyone can help me find some locally i would be eternally thankful.

im in Austria near Innsbruck. at www.camping-oberland.at/en/camping.php

cheers guys

p.s the car is semi drivable but its knocking like a bitch and i really dont want to be recovered home.

Hi
Are you sure thats all it is then I would think your best bet is to get a friend to get the parts here
incl a head & sump gasket , & send them express to you.
My brother had a similar problem coming back from milan, sent him 2 tubes of piston seal & it got him home.
the engine was knackered anyway.
Good luck
René

cannot find any Saab parts stuff in Austria, and Ebay Austria has nothing of note.

As above - buy them in the UK and get it sent to you.
