Ive had to replace the cams :cry:, steering rack, alternator pulley, temp sender, MAF, boost hoses, all bushes front and rear, wheel bearings, inner and outer CV boots, steering pump, door module, rear wiper motor.....I could go on :lipsrsealed:

Not much you can do to prevent them, just service it regularly and check things for signs of wearing

first was almost all my front and rear bushes, had my cambelt done when my alternator wheel sheared off and had to get a new alternator and a new belt for it and same time got a bad oil leak sorted New anti roll bar bushes and now my CV joint probably needs doing so as well.
