I have had the car two weeks now, what should i do every week or every month etc... to keep the car intact... what shall i look out for... do i need to check for rusts... what shall i look for when i open the bonnet. Sorry for being a complete novice.. but i want to make sure i maintain it right...

VIIIs are pretty bullet-proof, you don't have to worry about them. Just service it and they'll look after it for you. The AYC pump is very likely to fail at least once in the car's lifetime. It runs the rear and centre diffs. When it fails you'll get the three ACD lights come on (tarmac, gravel, snow),and the rear and centre diffs will be in "open" mode which won't damage the car but will negatively affect the handling. You can get a re-con pump for about £500 tops. Worse case it's £2.5k from Mitsubishi to fix it....but no-one pays that.
