Default What was your last major repair?

Just for gits and shiggles, what was your last repair? and your mileage?

Mine was an old bonnet sensor causing the alarm to sound...about 126,000.

Thank goodness the compressor was replaced right before I bought mine. WHEW!

Last minor repair was the Front EAS valve block. Do we see a pattern here?

Next planned repair (hoping I don't have any unplanned ones in the meantime) is my A/C. It works ok most of the time, but has times where it seems like the A/C just quits. I recharged the system last summer and pressures are still good. However, even when it works, it's nowhere near as cold as the Range Rover. Planning on replacing the compressor clutch and perhaps the expansion valve and receiver/drier depending on how adventurous I feel.

Oh, new tie rods and tie rod ends are on the list as well, but will hold off until it's time for tires.

Front control arms & Old man EMU 2" springs, 120k miles.

Had the bonnet sensor go out a few thousand miles ago, I just used a jumper wire & electrical tape.

inner and outer tie rods are on the list. there's a little wobble on the right front, but the others have zero play. maybe i'll just get them done.

just had the bushings done while it was in for the scheduled oil change.

might go back to street tires in a month. next few excursions are mild ones.

might just get the EAS compressor done given the responses.

my current one - swapping out the clutch on my '95 which I got last month. Taking my time, but unfortunately I am easily distracted - I've already acquired yet another vehicle last weekend - makes #10 or 11, can't remember actually.
