I don't know if it is working for everyone else, but I still cannot add to the list. Maybe I permanently locked myself out by voting before the fix? It's alright, Just imagine about 3/4 of the list and a few that aren't on it.
Enjoy.

Significant item missing, at least from my wallet's point of view, steering rack. Blew every seal on winter. Passenger front wheel bearing has failed three times in 10 years of ownership. Currently troubleshooting rear wheel, stay is broken, undetermined cable connection is sheared at splice near control arm. The joys of car ownership.

Pretty much alot. Bought it for $3200 and I have about $2000 (not counting any misc labor) in parts in it. PCV system, both cam and crankshaft seals, oil coolant lines, struts, ball joints, axles, tie rods, rotors, ABS module, heated seat switch, rr window switch, rear shocks, t-belt and associated components, drivers seat switch, and a few others that escape me at the moment. Runs great at 190,000 so I guess I'll keep it.

I just had to have the Cam Shaft Seals replaced on my 1998 S-70 (Non-Turbo) I was losing oil there like crazy; Thought it was the PCV Oil Separator, BUT after replacing the seals, they checked the crankcase pressure and found ALL to be normal.
BTW, If you are around Tampa or Brandon, FL; Bergman's Foreign Auto Service did an excellent job at a reasonable price and were up front about what was needed and didn't add on to the costs.

I forgot to check (1) shift-lock microswitch and (2) signal flasher relay for my 1996 850.

Other things:
  • Misc lights in the dash/radio.
    Backlight for PRND3L.
    Driver window button fell apart.
    Speed sensor at trans went in and out.
    Steering column cover secures broke.
    Horns died early on.
