What are the common high-mileage failure components? I'm asking specifically about my C70 Turbo Coupe (222,500), but the question is valid for all P80 (870) chassis cars 1994-2004.

I just learned how a Camshaft Position Sensor can leave you stranded and without immediate access to a replacement. I've done quite a bit of maintenance and minor upgrading to this car, but I'd like to assemble a priority list as well as a small stash of emergency repair parts to have on hand.

Aside from the CPS, and the timing belt (of course), what other critical components are prone to fail without warning?
