Spent a fair bit on mine since August 2013 (in NPA):

    Roof crossbars
    Towbar
    Allisport intercooler
    Silicone turbo hoses
    NSF Driveshaft
    Gearbox flush
    Torque Converter
    V8 brakes - front and rear
    Front-rear brake pipes
    Alternator
    Battery
    2nd set of (scruffy) wheels
    Several full service kits and fluids etc.
    Wheel nuts
    2nd set of cam-belts (though not actually due yet) complete with oil and water pumps
    Rear HVAC pipes
    EGR Blanking kit
    Rear upper arms
    Decat pipe
    Nanocom and IID BT
    Two front shocks (which haven't been fitted yet)*
    Tyres
    Tailgate actuator and latch
    Various LED bulbs
    Driving lamps (mounting brackets to be produced very shortly now)
    More small things and probably something I've forgotten
    Over 55k's worth of fuel so far


To add to the above, the rear prop is to be renewed soon, and the brake flexi-hoses, plus various bits and bobs still to do. A fair bit of bodywork's been done under insurance too. More mods are/will be on the list inc. some mud tyres. No doubt an AMK compressor will be down the line some time. Would have bought a remap too, but it turns out it's already done. Smile

All adds up to I-hate-to-think-what, but I've only had one oughtright breakdown - CV joint - and it was at the end of my road; must have been in favour with the gods!

( * = I'm trying to save up for Koni FSDs, but more time-sensitive things keep getting in the way. I want to replace the airbags too, so it's much more cost effective to buy the complete struts and re-sell the shocks. Rolling Eyes )

Thumbs Up

Well, I said I'd probably forgotten something, and I have...only the turbo! Shocked Laughing

The shocking thing is that so did mine! Shocked No smoke, no lack of power, no faults; just a little rattle. Only when inspected was movement in the core apparent, the veins were catching and it wasn't spinning freely. Shocked
