 Be aware of oil change on this model if you drain oil the oil pump drains as well if you do not put oil in straight away .Many a home mechanic and some trade mechanics have had seized engines as the pump will need priming before engine is started other than that I have met a few travellers with that model and have had no major issues 

Cheers

I find it beyond belief that anyone would design such an expensive item and incorporate a total self-destruction component.
