Hello and welcome! - A few things to take note of:
Oil & filter change every 6000 miles - Try to do it just before if you can.
Check gearbox oil when changing oil.
The engine has a protective cover underneeth it. It's a good idea to check it that is secured properly. Sometimes on the D8's this cover comes loose and then starts to flap about.
The automatic hand-brake adjusters in the rear drums never work and need adjusting quite frequently.
Cam belt interval is every 70,000 miles. I like to change mine at 65, just to be on the safe side.
Aux belt interval is every 30,000 miles. Sometimes the tensioner stops doing it's job, so then aux belt might need changing sooner.
Just a few tips.
