johnnybravoturbo Unregistered J	Quote Now I use the term "I" loosely, although I have done some work myself, inevitably it has gone wrong and JBT has done it properly and/or checked things over! Cambelt (1) Auxbelts (3) Oil Cooler and pipes (2) Clutch Exhaust (cat back) Coolant hoses Radiator Heater Matrix Power steering pump Drive shafts and hubs Wheel (buckled x 1 - JBT has now shamelessly painted it "Marco" pink! ) Rear caliper and line Thermostat Wheel bearing Turbo The 'orn(s) Service items (lots of times) I am sure I am forgetting lots of stuff there, but its a start! I think it was your spring that snapped or a tyre that blew out on me wasnt it nearly killing me? You have been very unlucky with yours but very lucky at the same time. Oil cooler bursting has killed many of these cars. Also the ps pump shearing the bolt couldve easily have tangled the belts.

In 15 years and 45k miles: 1 Clutch "pump" 1 Coil pack 1 Thermostat 1 Pair of front springs 1 Set brake hoses 2 belt complete changes 2 exhausts (cat back) 1 set handbrake cables 2 batteries Some oil and filters, brake pads and discs - just the usual stuff. I'm not counting stuff I have bought cos I fancied it, like stereos, speakers, strut brace, alloy as none of these were necessary. It will probably suddenly fall apart overnight now!
