2 and 4 door differences???

**rowland0** · 21st August 2014, 03:31 PM

Well I be saving up and looking around and I have come across a 1997 two door tdi manual. First thing first being a noob i was unaware the two door ran that late, so my questions are.

. Are there much difference in parts between the 2 and 4 door for interchangeability
. Someone once told me that the two door are exactly the same as the 4 minus the back doors is that true
. And changing the manual to an auto is it a hard task or dose it bolt in nicly

My main concern is if I buy it and if parts are different and harder to come by so your assistance will be much appreciated

Thanks Rowlando

I would be surprised if it actually is a 97 model, check out the build/vin plate.
Mechanically they are identical so parts are no problem, converting to auto although not that difficult using factory parts its still a big job.
I would look at buying an auto if thats what you want.

I think the biggest difference is 2 doors...

2 door variants of a model usually have bigger doors. Falcon coupe as an example. Is this the case with Discos ??

So is the 2 door a swb or the same leath as the 4 door ??

No difference in front door sizes. The only time you might struggle for parts is if something is needed for the 2nd row windows. I repaired my latches as I couldn't find new ones. I've removed my 2nd row seats, but if you intend carrying rear seat passengers often then get a 4 door. Access to back is a pain in a 2 door - especially with a suspension lift!

Identical mechanically, including wheelbase.

Not so with the Disco which is why they look funny i reckon.

Ah ok cool well I would not have to worry about seating people in the back as I would deck out the back with draw system. The extra space sounds appealing and I don't really transport anyone but myself and maybe one other ever now and then so sound like a good option, thanks for all you info guys

Did you confirm it is a 97 model ?? (by the VIN)
