Waterpump: The o-rings at the pump pipe started leaking at 57k miles, and all connections had to be tightened around the waterpump, pipe and the small u-shaped hose. Mechanic told me people often replace the pump at that point because it is easier than fixing the leaks, (most of the expense is in the labor anyway), but the connections often leak before the pump goes bad. At 97k miles, I've been told the pump is on borrowed time, and to replace it with the Saab kit which includes the pipe, not bother with just the aftermarket pumps. Cheaper if you do it at the same time as the belt and pulleys, or short belt conversion.
Alternator: Never replaced.
