4.6 new owner

evening.
Just bought a 4.6 HSE. The motor its self seems sweet as a nut, no problems there (yet) but to tell you the truth, out of my entire car history, this is the second petrol i have owned. the first being a ford orion.

1. is the 4.6 old enough to have push rods? or are do i have a couple of cam belts?

2. apart from dose the antifreeze and mend the small leak on the powersteering pump hose, is there naythign i should do asap? a full service is currently out of the question.

Change the oils. Use a semi synth 10-40 in the engine every 6 months. Halfords green pack should do the job. Change the diff oils and transfer box too (EP80/90 gear oil).
