Welcome!
Looks like a clean wagon! (Err -- estate?

After you get the hang of it they aren't hard to work on, and if the motor is all dialed in they don't ask for much in the way of attention. Just regular oil changes, careful cooling system maintenance, and timing belts every once in a while, not too much else. Being a later motor yours may have hydraulic tappets which is one less thing to do periodically.
There are a number of members here from the UK, ian2000t is one from England who has done a lot of work to his car, you might look him up. If you run into any questions folks around here will certainly be ready to help.
