Cylinder head gasket, timing belt and alternator belt all replaced. 4th complete set of front shock absorbers in 3 years. Headlamp and dash bulbs blow regularly.
Great fun to drive but it's quite slow when three or more people are in it. Some parts can be expensive but just don't buy from the main dealer. Tyres are expensive and hard to find. 220 miles on just £10 of unleaded makes up for some expensive parts. Starts every time even from under thick snow. Buy one now!!
Unusual that you say that tyres were expensive and hard to find - I had no problems whatsoever getting tyres for my AX during the ten years I owned it, and from a wide variety of fast-fit outlets. Average cost was £35 per tyre incl. balancing etc (Continental brand).
Did have problems with dashboard lamps blowing quite frequently as it's a pig of a job to replace them - especially getting the speedometer cable back on once the instrument panel is back in position.
