Tetsu0san Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 That is the first I have heard of there being 2 different types of door. They may be confusing the 2 types with the ones with the brake lights in the window and the ones without or the ones with the speakers and pocket. But I don't think the door itself is any different on a 200 or a 300. I could be wrong though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrKev Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 I think the 200tdi has a tail light fitted in the door, such that when the door is fully open - blocking the main tail light on the D pillar, there is a substitute. The 300tdi has the tail lights on the bumper too, negating the need for this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Door latch is approx 2 inches higher (so you can't even shut the door!). I have just fitted a door from a V8 petrol (N reg), to my 300TDI P reg. Perfect fit. As for L reg Discos - sorry can't help with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
