Hi all,

I'm looking to buy my first defender and I'm just after any advice on the Defender 110 200 TDI. I'm off to see it tomorrow and just wanted to know what to look out for

Thankyou in advance

Have a good look at that bulkhead corner.

Check its MOT history on the gov.uk website, looks like it has needed major work to correct dangerous issues over a long period of time. List the fail items and check they have been addressed when you view it. (personally I would not bother viewing it based on its history)

Probably why I got the cane three times this morning and 100 lines this afternoon. Didn't know school could be so kinky

I think for that money you could pick up a tidy 110 that’s direct release. Then register is and pay someone to fit a Tdi. That’s what I did.

The windscreen rubber is perished, lift the mats and check for lower bulkhead rust as well as the top corners.
