Hi all

I’m very close to buying my first defender. A 2014 110 high cap pick up. I’m keen to keep it fairly original but upgrade the wheels and put a new sound system and sat nav.

Does anyone have any advise on things I should do/look out for.

Thanks guys.

Haha well I suppose that clears it up! Just needs to be a very loud sound system I guess. I just want something touch screen to cover up the dash. I actually prefer the older interiors with less in them, but this one has the “plastic van” centre console that’s I don’t like too much.

Look for rot on the rear crossmember where mud flaps have mot been fitted

normal places & on chassis out riggers.
Remember these would have seen a lot of hard work
