143,500 - Replaced Passenger Side Window Motor
143,500 - Replaced Drivers Side Window Switch Pack, Lifter Mech., Motor and New Door Locks as all the electronics were shot

No idea if this is still being used but just in case,
2001, 180, 6 speed. Detailed history only from 55,000mls 2007-present 87,000.

55,800 - Cam belt, Water pump, Pulley belt (assume failed water pump?)
61,600 - Rear brake discs
66,000 - Front Springs
69,800 - Front brake discs
71,400 - Hazard light switch, Catalyst Heat Shield
71,900 - Alarm Siren. Battery
72,800 - Dual mass flywheel. Clutch, Bearing, Rear Springs, Front large bushes?
74,800 - Front ARB bushes
80,900 - Rear ABS Sensors, NS rear wheel bearing
81,200 - Battery, front ABS sensor
83,400 - Rear brake discs
83,400 - Drivers door microswitch
83,400 - Electrical Fault on Dash Repair
84,000 - Mileage somewhere around 84k. Power steering fluid cooler pipe corroded and dumped all fluid, part replaced from breakers.
84,900 - Coil pack failure replaced one and plugs.
86,000 - Coil pack failure. Replaced remaining 3 as 1 replaced recently, OBD also showed an intermittent misfire on 2 other cylinders. One coil pack had failed. Intermittent miss traced to wires on top of head to all 4 coil packs had insulation that had begun to crack/breakdown - temporary but sound repair with insulation tape, ended up left as a permanent repair until it rears its head again or I feel like obtaining new stealer part or splicing new wires in, but I am loathed to cut any wire that is serviceable and just needs adequate insulation (silly and lazy, some may say, I say if it ain't broke, don't fix it!)
87,900 - Four wheel alignment on Hunter Alignment System carried out, yesterday, not pushed it yet, but first impression is it was worth the ÂŁ72 which found excessive toe in on rear nearside and front offside. Front sorted but rear still just outside recommended as without removing the rear arms and cleaning the slots out/ replacing bushes it wasn't going to get there.
 
Turbo broke up at 83000. Why?????????????? still being repaired. iNTERCOOLERS full of bits so 2nd hand ones being fitted!
Already replaced clutch, flywheel, master cyl x 3 ! Slave cylinder, 2 rear springs ?(fronts plus one rear already done when I bought the car at 63k) cam belt. water pump (kit - in case) hazard switch, clutch pedal switch, headlamp washers, thermostat, dipstick pipe !! (why make them out of plastic??) ARB bushes............
With turbo job will have spent as much as I paid for the car.
NEVER had a car cost me so much. And it was low mileage!
 
2005 base 180T auto, 82K miles, just bought used in December. Took it to my local indy shop for the look over, this was the laundry list:

-Both front CV boots replace
-Leak in P/S line, power steering pressure hose replace (ouch)
-Leaking transmission pan: sealed leak, replaced gasket, flush/refill trans fluid (also ouch)
-Replace failing hood struts
-Major interval service (75K apparently wasn't done by previous owner): plugs, flush/refill every fluid and replace every filter

All to the tune of nearly $3K US. DRL is out on the passenger's side, need to replace entire headlight assembly to fix, $900 part so leaving it for now (not required in the US).

Engine/belts/brakes/tires all fine...tech said he thought the car had actually been reasonably well taken care of but had probably been sitting for a while before I bought it.

Hopefully the next thing I need to take it in for is an oil change at 86K :-|
