"Gasket defect unacceptable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Cylinder Head Gasket. This fails with every Diesel model I know of (3) every ~4 years

Water pump after 6 years

Clutch after 10 years

Relay switch of cooling fan every 5 yrs

Shock absorbers every 6 yrs- but Maltese roads are very bad

Internal heating radiator leak after 10- had to be disconnected as it is practically "unreachable"

Dashboard cracked after 10 years

Seats defective pull-up and slider mechanism after 3 yrs

Spent first three years occasionally finding bolts and nuts that got loose from passenger area.

General comments?

Very economical - could make about 430 Miles with tank-full when car was new. However gasket defect repair balanced out cost benefits from consumption.

I can just confirm low fuel consumption, 4l/100km is easily reachable. But my 14TGD/91 needs quite expensive service, like head damage, discovered after a complete head repair including gasket,..maybe I just have bad luck. I'm decided to buy a car with 1.5dCi engine...
