Thread: Later model door swap

Doors are lined.

However, as JDNSW said above, all are interchangable... so no way of knowing if mine are original kit or not.

Being in NZ the supply of them may have been different too - for example, the four cylinder Rover engines were never sold in Australia in the coil spring models. Only ones were the V8 and the Isuzu, then the 200Tdi in 1991 when the Defender was introduced (110, 120, 127 discontinued when the Disco was introduced in 1990 - 90 was never sold here until after 2000)

I put 300 tdi front doors on a 1988 110 body that came with push button doors. The front doors were difficult to close. The back doors were from the 1988 body and closed easily. Might be some difference btw defender and county doors. Don't know.

I ended up removing the steel roll on the sill (mainly because it was catching sand and rusting) which helped a lot.
