I'm after a mechanic in Walthamstow, or one locally that will travel to Walthamstow.. my 2001 Saab 93 broke down a week ago just before I went on holiday. It has battery power but just clicks/taps when I try and start it, maybe the starter motor or ignition cassettes..

Can anyone recommend someone who may know Saabs and isn't going to charge a fortune to take a look?

Thanks..

I'm sorry I can't help with a local mechanic but I can recommend Saabtech in Welwyn Garden City.
They're excellent, really know their stuff and carry a huge range of Saab parts.
Neobros also have a good rep but i've never used them, they're in Waltham Cross.

I had a similar problem with my 9-5 a few years back which turned out to be either the di cassette or the crank position sensor, can't remember which.
Anyway I used shiply.com, found a great guy who came and took my car on a flatbed from Islington to Saabtech for £59.
Was worth it for me to get them to take a look.
Hope you get it sorted soon!
