I know how you feel mate. I've only had my current ZS 2 months and since i had it the drivers outer CV went, replaced that then the handbrake stopped working. Turned out both my rear calipers had seized, fixed that then my manifold cracked and started blowing. Fixed that yesterday then noticed this morning my waterpumps started leaking .

We both must have friday afternoon cars.

my car has been a b***h as well, it is not boosting as it should be and is only hitting 22PSI, even with the actuator\wastegate disconnected

turns out on the dyno there is way too much lag and the car is right down on power...

even with that said, it being poorly it is still 150bhp... (but only 220lbsft)

I must be blessed as mine has been pretty good in 4 1/2 years with just minor things and the expected issues.
