Fix her quick before more things break. LR's chance of breakage is based on time you've had 'em multiplied by how much you need 'em. The number of miles driven doesn't actually come into it.
So even if you're not driving it, it's still going to break more if it's your daily driver. Leave it lying about and the head gasket will go, just to spite you for not paying it enough attention. Then your sump will start leaking. After that, it would normally be your ring gear being stripped of teeth by your pinion, but yours is uprated - so instead, your driveshafts will shear.
It'll just be sitting there, not moving, and suddenly "BANG" - your gearbox will leave bits of synchro's all over the drive. Ideally at 3am.
Also, trim and such will just go missing. They love to undress themselves - you'd think they were bangkok strip bar "hostesses" in a previous life.
So give it the TLC your Zuk never needed, and quick. You're a lawnrover owner now.

In what sense - it's busted, or you have been offroading again?
