Rear wiper motor died, estate rams given up (whilst my missus was leaning in the boot, so some comedy value at least), random dashboard warning lightbulb.

 

Was wondering whats still to come. Might be time to sell it, but it still pulls like a train and I love it.

 

Its at 58000, and was wondering who thinks its time for a cam belt change?

Mines on 62k now. I had the random dashboard warning where it was like the car had a stroke and half the lights were off in random combinations. Turned out to be the 30 amp fuse under the bonnet, Changed that and been fine since.

Yes, cam belt is due about now too. Mine was done a couple on months early on 48k.

Shame to hear about a few bits on the car, but nothing too major is it?

Both quite common I an afraid

Is it a diesel or petrol if the later you would have a chain. Search on here, there were failures and a recommendation to change some components. If it's a diesel then yup Cambelt time
