BogMonster Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 One of our 300Tdi Defenders (this is a late 300Tdi, 2005 model year export vehicle) needs several new door latches - the whole latch inside the door not just the lockset. They're just worn out with age and gritty muck ingress from tens of thousands of miles on unsurfaced roads and off road. A local supplier has what they say are Puma latches in stock at reasonable prices. Are they the same? I know the tail door has a different latch assy on the Puma because the door handle is different (the Puma one has holes in the handle), but I don't know about the side doors. Can anybody with a parts manual to cover both 2005 and the Puma age vehicles tell me how many different door latches there are for front and 2nd row side doors, and the VIN/MY change points? Thanks. Non central locking, if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peaklander Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 I tend to use the lrworkshop for parts and diagram references. The diagrams you need are on this page https://www.lrworkshop.com/diagrams/land-rover-defender-body-chassis/doors If you reference your VINs the site will filter the parts, should you wish.

BogMonster Posted June 29, 2023 Author Share Posted June 29, 2023 Thanks, from that link it looks like they are the same parts. That's a good link, duly bookmarked! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
