2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Sumatra Black

Weakest Link?

My 110 has now gone through two years and 20,000 miles and on the whole it's been pretty good. Usual complaints about rust but it's been sound on the mechanical side.

But I got to wondering what the weakest link on a Puma Defender was, what can I expect need attention first? I know lots about Minis and with them you'd say to check the inner seals (spelling?), radius arms and that plastic cup that sits at the bottom of the suspension arms. But what with a Defender, what's first on the list of things to look out for?

Just wondering and all.

I was wondering about props and UJ's. Can't say i've read musch about failed UJ's unlike my 300 which also had a wheel bearing appetite. BM52
