I took my car in last month to fix a weep on a coolant hose. Over the following two weeks I've ended up buying/replacing the following
New set of Maptun black silicone coolant hoses (really good value from Neo Brothers)
New radiator
New water pump
New thermostat, which could't be fitted because the housing wouldn't come off
New a/c condenser
New a/c receiver/dryer
A/c re-gas
New belt tensioner
New tensioner pulley, just in case
Used washer bottle (obviously)
Used headlight wiper arms (corroded hose connections)
Repair to metal pipe for auto 'box radiator connection, corroded at the metal clip
New MAP sensor
New DI unit, a genuine one this time
4 new NGKs
New old stock window mechanism and motor
eBay central locking unit
and 2 new front tires because one had a thorn through the sidewall, not repairable
I also found you can do a good job restoring the suede inserts in the Anniversary seats with glass-paper - used some Timberland Nubuck cleaner to get the colour looking right again
OK, I can take a joke but this car does now have to earn its keep for another year!
1997 Anniversary 2.3 full Turbo automatic, 170,000 miles
