ok gents,,,,,,,,,, new defender,,,spare wheel set up on rear door ,,,,,,,,, have the structural integrity issues been dealt with ,,,,, will it cope with genuine offroad/touring service???........ any opinions appreciated

[Psimpson7]

IMO yes. The door since 2002 is a much better design and far stronger.

Can I ask exactly when in 2002.

Mine is a Jan 02 build:)

If the bottom corners of the glass are rounded you have a new type door
