Well Chas, you may have one - but it sure isn't unique!
I went through the same items on my 93 9000 Aero when I bought it in '96:
head gasket
water pump
heater core
And in spite of this there was still moisture in the dash which kept
wiping out the airbag controller, until they finally put in the drip
shield according to the recall (make sure this is done on your car).
If you're lucky, you won't go on with the following repairs which I've
had:
broken timing chain at 68k miles ($3500)
DI cassette, twice
top and bottom motor mounts
fuel injectors (all four, $990)
And of course all the usual 'minor' items (e.g. window motor, $400).
Its a great car when it runs :-).
