Inspection advice

Im planning to view this 2006 defender tdi300. In addition to the usual things to check for, can anyone share advice/insights for this vehicle and engine type? It would be my first defender...

The current owner has had it for just over a year and has undertaken a lot of work. Details are in the last images. Anything I should be wary of or any red flags there?

Any help and advice is much appreciated!

Im in east africa if that has any relevance

Seam Repair Advice

hi all,

I've recently started using my parents' Khyam RigidDome from the late 90s/2000s. it's been in dry storage for 20 years or so.

On our last trip one of the main seams came apart inside, about 3-4 feet long.

Should I use a liquid or a tape to fix this? I'm also assuming now one seam has separated like this, others will too. Should I preemptively treat/tape the other seams?

thanks in advance!

My buddy and I got (my first) wild camp in. Spent a night at Chapel Stile campsite, before hiking Crinkle Crags and pitching near Red Tarn. Beautiful day's hike, great evening, although cloudy overnight.

I want to say a huge thanks to the community for teaching, inspiring and advising. I had an awesome time!

Cloud Up 1 is a little short and narrow for me, and my 35l rucksack is at it's limit for an overnight hike, but I can live with that for the time being. I can't wait to get out again!
