New clutch,
New clutch cables x2
Leaking speedo o ring
Repaired firewall
Clutch spring-snapped
Radiator-leaking
Intake manifold-causing miss
Coil pack,leads & plugs-miss again
Rusted out exhaust
Aerial not working
Belt tensioner-worn bearings

And over the last month replaced the head gasket.
And about to put another radiator as its leaking around plastic tanks again,

And finally the alternator died shortly after I got it running after replacing the head gasket.
If you manage to pop a head gasket in an AU 6 you are doing something very wrong! Can't rule out the odd lemon though mate.
I've had mine 3 years and 100k and all I've had is that tensioner pulley replaced
