Had to get a new box for mine as well. Changed the cambelt/fanbelt, filters, plugs, dizzy etc. Also wheel bearings, brake discs. Think thats been it in the last 2 years... the box was the most expensive thing to go

My additions to list (in brief) : Cam seals, oil pumps are sh*te (my mate has broken two of them, in short period!), crankshaft seals, auxilliary shaft (runs the oil pump in early F7 series engines) seal. Clutch seems to last forever though!

But actually cars in general break all mentioned here and above...
