Parts failure poll for P2 generation: let's do it right

[MadeInJapan]

Oh, and spring clip to hold head light bulb in broke...

Hi Matt,

I have this idea which I am almost sure you will say that is too complicated to implement in a poll, but at least please give it a thought:
Would be really nice to have the failure mileage included in this poll, that way we should know not only what to expect but when.
The way I think this is possible is to create for example 5 columns or more, each column for a range of 20k miles (0-20; 20-40; 40-60; 60-80; 80-100, etc.) So when somebody votes for a certain part they have to put the vote in one of these columns.
What do you think?

Thanks,
Dan.
P.S. If you need any help with this poll (with or without mileage) please let me know.

You're full of excellent ideas that are not possible to implement with phpBB forum software

Let me decide if the cost/benefit ratio is worth it to pull this poll out of the forum and into a WordPress page where I can run anything out there, modify something out there, or write a poll script from scratch that allows us to go two-dimensional with this.

There may be a WP plugin that allows this advanced functionality. Problem is, the phpBB users and WP users are not synced, so the tight voting restrictions will be lost if we move it off the forum.

Ok, here's the list, de-duplicated:

abs module
ac compressor
alternator
axle shafts
blower motor
brake cylinder position sensor
brake master cylinder
broken ignition lock
cabin switches
catalytic converter
cem (central electronic module)
center console cover
center console cup holder
climate control fan
climate system (including software upgrades)
control arm bushings
delaminated shoe on the parking brake mechanism
discolored roof trim strips
door whether strip
engine cooling fan
etm (electronic throttle module)
exhaust flex down pipe
exhaust pipe hanger broken (rusted, etc)
front strut mounts
front struts
front window mechanism, slider or switch
fuel pump
gas door hinge
gas door latch (not hinge)
gas tank pressure sensor
headlamp ballasts (volvo calls them "Control units")
ignition coils
ignition key failure (key replacement, programming)
immobilizer attenna (start prevented error)
leaky seal in headlamp (related to above)
lower ball joints
lower torque rod
oil sump seals
other cup holder
oxygen sensors
parking brake cable
passenger airbag sensor
pcv system
premature lightbulb/bulb socket failures
radiator leak
radio display
rear bearing housing ("Knuckle")
rear latch mechanism
rear main seal
seat controls cover
seat motor
siren control module
spring clip to hold head light bulb
spring seats
steering rack
steering wheel
steering wheel controls
sway bar links
the turbocharger (whole thing)
tie rods
transmission (including software upgrades)
transmission mount
turbo valve
turn signals
upper engine mount
vacuum pump/vacuum switch
vvt solenoid
water pump
wheel bearings
yaw sensor (anti-skid service required)

I'll give it a few more days, then I'll make it into a poll. Note that once a poll starts, it can't be changed without all the data (votes) getting thrown out. That's why this one we're "doing it right".

Here's mine for a V70 2001 2.0T:

Tie rods
Control arm bushings
Transmission (complete overhaul despite oil changes)
Fuel flap locking mechanism

Turbocharger (small oil leak)
Center cupholder (broken spring)

Cheers,
