Blew the head at 80k due to failure of timing belt. Replaced head, and all gaskets. Regular maintenance since. Now at 171k, replaced the valve cover gasket last week. Runs like a top but time to change that belt again....

80k issues - not many. Drivers door lock fell in and I had to go into the door to retrieve it and replace the screws. 20 min fix.
