As it happens, I've not found it to be too 'maintainance free'. So far I've replaced discs and pads, thermostat, EGR link pipe, metal coolant hose, drop links and most recently the gearbox as it decided to explode. All that since January and before we bought it, it had a recon turbo and a new water pump.
How do you find yours? Any better?
JP, I'm suprised. I thought the landy would be a real nice drive
