They have a very good feedback score, 11844 with 99% positive.

I have emailed them in the past about their front door and they have been very helpful.

For that much money (well you might need add a bit) I would look for a mint take off rear door from a Puma (or late Td5).

They are rust protected (light galv) from new and are a much better design - and do not flex or crack like the earlier doors. They are all steel as well - so no corrosion issues between the two metals.

Thanks for all the replies,

I know £360 is a lot but when you consider that is painted too and my car is metallic then the paint work is sure to cost about £150?

Like idea of puma door ian but cany seem to find any,


Anybody have a puma door in mint condition they don't need ????

Thanks again Thumbs Up Thumbs Up

I have seen some Puma doors (front and rear) on ebay in the past, but they can go for vast sums of money - £400-£500.

That is because you all try to make doors more difficult to steal, so less available on ebay so the prices go up. Whistle Roel

1997 Camel Trophy Discovery 300TDI (2001-2009)

I agree that looks a good price considering it is galvanized, painted and fitted with glass

Ok an update,

I have looked for puma doors and could buy a used one for about £350-400.
But still have to get it painted and buy wiper Moyer etc etc

Sp are now doing an all steel oe galv door which will not suffer from electrolytic corrosion. Same price as aluminium skinned door so I have gone for that.

I will post some feedback on my experience once door arrives Thumbs Up

I bought a full set of series3 doors from SP for the defender along with locks and catches - the fit is perfect, all made in house - recommended.
Try going to their website - prices are better...
