Well seeing as my Uncle is a mechanic and the OH used to be a mechanic they do any work on it and service it. And my parents are in the commercial motor parts business so getting hold of parts isn't a problem for me.
I bought it from a main dealership and they gave 3 months warranty with it so it went back a quite a few times before the warranty ran out just to make sure everything was right.

What's Bad
Bankruptcy blight took its toll on UK stocks and Mussos were sold at huge discounts in 1998 and 1999. This had a devastating effect on residual values to anyone who originally paid the full price, particularly iof they bought a 94 or 98bhp 2.9 diesel.
What to Watch Out For
Usual 4x4 checks, and make sure youc an find someone local to service it.
