Its a bomb warning, dont go anywhere near 100mph otherwise the beeping stops and trust me driving you mad will be the least of your worries

They've got a thing on them that you set the speed limit that you want to do to and when you go over it it beeps to tell you.

That is true but whoever had the car before set the warning alarm to sound at 80mph.

Talking

actually i have to be quite honest and say i am very impressed with it - it is the 9-3 Vector sport 150bhp TID and has only 5k on the clock and was under 16K inc vat as a company car purchase - so its a lot of quite nice car for the money ............................... and certainly seems quite good value for money as their limit is 16K and this doesnt really buy you a lot nowadays ...........but its only a week old so will see how it fairs - the golf it has replaced was the 130 bhp one which felt a bit quicker but ( smaller car and all that ) but did rattle and wasn't as comfortable...........which when you do 60K miles a year is important !!!!!!

this is an easy one to solve....

in the centre of the dash is a panel (din size) which will have a number of buttons and rocker switches, press power, then adjust level until you can no longer hear annoying bleep (can even be used to drown out annoying buzzing or whining noises eminating from the vicinity of the front passenger seat too)

any other advice needed and i'm always here to help

I just received a safety recall for my 5 month old 9-3 aero convertible. I wish they'd just recall the pile of sh it permenantly and be done with it.

FFS, I had the roof down today and I got cold

Bit of a long shot but my Radio/Tape/CD player has a speed setting built into it so it might be in that
(Its Disabled now )

Press your customise button on the dash, the SID will then give you options, you can then set the 'Speed Warning' to varying speeds in the menu or as is best turn it off.

Its a 30 second job.
