nothing that you wont already be familiar with - usual front suspension wear etc.  Check EML comes on and goes off with ignition - there is a 'problem' with the precats on these.

I have found on the last four 2.6's I have worked on that the oil cooler banjo bolt ali washers have leaked oil, maybe a coincendence but strange... so if you smell oil or can see a drop around the sump wouldn't be suprised if it was that..
