That is quite a list.

I'm almost tempted to say take it to Rich at PAW and let him use his magic hands. It will come back a different car!

I was talking to Vanzep about a similar topic yesterday. In 5 years over 3 Ludes I have ever only had problems to do with rubber perishing. One split top rad hose, a split hose on the block, and the rubber dampener on the crank pulley. I'm ignoring calipers seizing up as thats not really a biggie.

Other smaller anoying this like main realy (fun times at petrol stations :evil:) and bouncing idle in the 4th though.

That's bad luck, balance shaft oil seals and ecu have failed on mine, that's about it really... Cheap to fix so no problem :-)
