Top 5 things you must do

Hello to all
I will hopefully be picking up my 300tdi defender from liveridge 4X4 a week tomoz, keeping my fingers crossed
What do you reckon are the top 5 things you must get sorted when you buy a defender, waxoyling etc?
Living in the northwest I think I will be getting a cat1 alarm & immobiliser fitted first as i'd hate for it to vanish. Although the insurance company didnt stipulate I had to have one, better to be safe than sorry?
wolf rims any good? Bridgestone tyres ok?
Sorry about the noob type questions, learning all the time though
Thanks in advance

Not sure how attractive landies are to thieves actually. I've never had any problems with mine - even when I've accidentally left the windows fully wound down for days on end.
What do you want to do with it? Drive around the streets? Off-roading? Overlanding? Work?

Hi. Thanks for the reply
I am wanting to stick my mountain bike in the back & camping gear, I'll probably be doing a bit of green laning but nothing to crazy I dont think.

Where have you been? Where do you think all those parts come from on eBay?

Someone will know the figures for some areas but I know that in some areas hundreds were stolen in a month!

Its the nature of the landy, people take them because they can sell the parts, and they can dissapper failrly quickly.
