Dry day. Lift roof, remove sides and fit new side support bracket.

It is a 2001 TD5, old style simple dash. But the new door may be universal.
What it should be fairly easy to convert now I know the connections to the door |

Excellent. Cheers. Knew somebody would have the knowledge.
Saved me loads of time, working it out from diagrams.
I'll attach what I have to the new door and work out the dashboard end later. |

Next issue, which I had not foreseen.
I bought a pair of sides for a 110, not realising they are not quite the same as a later Defender. The 110 has strip fixed to the front edge which hold the do ... |

Seat belts removed as no 2nd row seats now.
