My favorite component to service has to be the heater core; I swear at the very beginning of the assembly line they start with a heater core hanging on a hook and they proceed to assemble an entire vehicle around it. They must figure those (*$%*@# cores are lifetime components that will never, ever fail. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.

The Starship Enterprise probably has one in the middle of it's crystal core that Scotty bemoans.
