HAHAH, Hilarious!

and, if timing belt (consumable) is being taken off the list...I wonder about other 'associated' parts? What about the tensioner pulley and stuff...Consumable too I guess. I think I remember that (the mechanical type anyway) is supposed to be changed at the same interval as the belt? In a 70 series/850, no?

Antenna mast (I've seen one that works)
Power Window Module (main)
ABS module
PNP switch (automatic)

...are some my failed parts.
