As per the Alternative Parts List for the S Series "it is SAAB 9000 non ABS on earlier models and Ford Sierra on later models the difference is down to location of fluid reservoir"

Otherwise try the search function to see what it throws up!

Obviously Dave you are a man of few words, 1 post in 47 months!! wow!!!

Got one about 4 months ago from tvrcarparts.com - about £110 if I remember. The price was similar to that quoted by my local factors.

You need the Saab 9000 non ABS as suggested. I replaced mine this year through one of those on line breakers for £35. The company was Bradgate Motors on 01709 552 855. It was showing a few signs of rust but far better than mine. Before fitting it I gave a couple of coats of Por 15 so now better than new!
