disco rear loading door

[Scruffyhippo]

Does anyone know if a TD5 back loading door will fit a 300TDi, or, does anyone know of an after market third brake light that fits tight to the glass like the TD5 one.

I'm going to black out the rear window and fit a grill for security and would like to sort out the brake light first.

I.ve been offered a complete TD5 door for £40.00 so cost is not the problem

I had heard (but get confirmation) that the only body part the D2 has in common with the D1 was the back door.

Late 300 tdi's had third level brake lights

Thanks piper and fatbloke that's useful info

I had a td5 and 200 door here together recently, they are the same size and shape, but the curve is slightly different.

They absolutley don't match - I have a 300TDI 1996 "ES". Had to buy a replacement door - like you, managed to get one from a TD5.

The doors are the same shape /size - even the hinges are in the same position... BUT the latch ain't! So you can't shut the door. Only solution would be to cut out the lock mechanism, and re-weld it in another position (which would clearly be a waste of time!).

I ended up scrapping the TD5 door, and buying another one - for a 300TDI!

Hope that helps
