Mark Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 You can get covers that fit into the trim in place of the seats which give you tall thin storage area - it is just a panel though rather than a 'pod' as such. hth Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty94disco Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 i've got one of the trim panels on each side instead of seats: very useful they are 2. The unfortunately seem to be very rare and i got a spare of ebay this year to replace one that had cracked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 We got a set of "pod" panels from evilbay the other week, took a seat out last night and realised that there are no slots for the fixing clips ( Doh !!) Out with the cutters..... Baldy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boro Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hmmm so hard to come by, my other idea was to bin the rear door card (falling apart anyway) in favour of an alloy plate card and to either make or purchase a small storage box to attach to the door card, doesnt have to hold anything particularly weighty just house the few bits and bobs that are in the boot, does anyone know of somewhere that does alloy rear door cards and storage boxes?

Boro Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have twin plastic bins on there like that at the moment (apart from on the standard card) but the pods have seen better days as the previous owner had overloaded them, what i was thinking was a chequer plate door card with a chequer plate bin on it, say a bin the full width of the door, 4 inches with by 6 inches high, as long as i dont stick anything really heavy in it the door should manage it fine imo, i just wondered whether someone did something off the shelf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahebron Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 i've got one of the trim panels on each side instead of seats: very useful they are 2. The unfortunately seem to be very rare and i got a spare of ebay this year to replace one that had cracked. Mine too had cracked on both covers. To stop the crack getting any bigger I drilled a small hole at the beginning of it. I then glued some 3mm ply to the inside of the covers. This has made the covers very strong and still flexible enough if they need to be removed. Adrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streaky Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Mobile Storage systems have introduced an aluminium version of the Disco I rear side storage paniers (storage Pods). They are really neat and come with or without locks. I don't know if they have pictures on the website but if not I took some snaps of them at Newark if you want. I lost my side storage pods when I fitted my stereo system but have still managed keep everything I need for recovery, camping etc. Even my waffles are located underneath the fridge slide for quick extraction. Clever use of space and different sized Quick Fists on the rear door hold everything in place without rattles etc. Velcro straps keep my recovery ropes in place on top of the Sub Woofer cabinet. This is a very cheap and effective solution to staorage and it works well with what I do here on the camping and motorsport scene. S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_debian Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Anyone know the part number for the rear storage bins? I'd love to replace the unused rear seats on my '96 300Tdi ES. Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 The part number will be no help as D1 interior trim has be obsolete for a number of years now, even if these bins were available as replacement part. Other than the van and the basic D1 all 300 series were 7 seater. http://www.allbrit.de/NAV.cfm?PAGE=528808&SPRACHE=EN you could search for yourself.
