D1 Door panel pins- best place to buy

[steveG]

Had the inside panel off my rear door yesterday to replace the spring in the door lock, and in the process I broke a few of the red pins that attach the panel to the door.

Went to Supercheap and Autobarn today but nothing even close to being the same.
Where's the best place to buy them?

Any Landrover dealer should be able to supply them. I bought some before I removed my door trims because I knew that I'd break some. Mine came from Austral Rover in Brisbane. I can't remember the price, but they aren't expensive.
The only problem you might have is getting the right ones. There are many available and they seemed to change them from one year to the next.

DKP5279L is what you want & you'll be lucky to get them for less than $3 from a dealer. That's $3 each :(.

Thanks Scouse. $3 each - that's criminal.

I knew I'd seen them somewhere on the web and that P/N helped me find them.
I've just ordered some from UK ebay. AUD$24 for 20 delivered (so $1.20 each).
Same guy I bought my rear door lock spring from so I must have seen them when I bought the springs.

Would be interested to know where you bought the rear door lock spring and panel pins as i need to replace mine.

Type in DKP5279L into Oz Google. The first result is a UK eBayer who I'm sure is the guy SteveG found.

[keithy47]

managed to find a couple of UK based parts sites, steve did you need to buy the whole rear door lock assembly (part no MXC2008) or can you buy the spring seperatley?

[steveG]

Bought the spring separately.
Scouse is spot on - its the first eBay entry that comes up in Oz Google. His ebay name is phillipstuart33.
Prompt postage and the springs came with instructions on how to replace them as well as landline and postal address details in UK.
The springs come in either LH or RH, and one fits the rear door. I ordered one of each, but in hindsight I'd probably order the set of 5.

Someone posted a fix on here (?) a while ago so that you could use your broken pins.

It entailed screwing in a suitable flat headed pk screw leaving a gap of the panel thickness. Just slipped it as per normal.
It simulated the top flange of the double headed pin & he claimed it worked a treat.

I must remeber not to by my parts in Sydney then. I just found the reciept for the clips I bought.
Door trim clips (MWC9134) - $0.62 ea
Alpine trim clips (BTR8976) - $1.87 ea

They are the list prices. I got them for less than that ;)
