Your repairs in the last year 850

In the last year, or 15,000 miles, whichever occurred first, what have you had to repair (or are ignoring) on your 850?

I'll start. '95 855T, 175,000 miles, owned 10 years

Repaired / Replaced
Fuel pump, front and rear pads, swaybar end links, various vacuum leaks, turn signal relay, fuel filter, odometer gears, seat back cable, firewall engine mount bushing,

To do:
moonroof plastic trim (fell out), headliner falling out, dash lights, alarm horn, rotors, parking brakes,

Not too bad.

Your repairs in the last year 850

Last 15,000 (Since March):

New rear brakes (line/pads/calipers) and brake flush.

replace radiator (with another from junkyard, last one lasted 1yr.)

Spark plug wire for #3 (had a broken boot).

Tranny flush (I do it every 20k with the cheap fluid.)

Car has 233k on it. ~$275 in parts, 5-6 hours labor.


Things to do:

replace the car...

(but if I had the time/space/equipment: fix A/C, replace drivers rear quarter panel, windshield, window glides, passenger door check stop, console cup holder)
--
If you're not driving it "like its stolen," are you really driving?

95 855 NA approximately 185K (broken odo) -

Radiator and rear shock mounts in the last year.

Needs tires, strut overhaul, driver's door stop, rear hatch repair and odometer repair. I also plan on doing a full tune-up this fall.

But looks and runs great for age and mileage..:)
