Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 200490 Safari rear door
Hi, what is the difference between a regular rear door for a LR 90/110, and a Safari door? Angus Twas Tue, 12 Oct 2004 17:42:22 +0100 when "Angus McDangle" <nospam@ntlworld.com> put finger to keyboard producing: >Hi, what is the difference between a regular rear door for a LR 90/110, and >a Safari door? > >Angus I think the rear door is aka safari. but there are differences between the newer (td5) rear doors and earlier defender & ninety/one ten rear doors but I thin kthey are interchangeable. the S3 rear doors can (I think) be fitted to a later land rover ninety/one ten/defender with changes to the lock location. umm, probably.

I had an S3 door on the 110. you only get 2 hinges, unless you faff around fitting the third one to the S3 door. You do also have to change the lock, although the only mod I recall it needing is to make a hole in the door skin to line up with the lock barrel. If you want HRW or rear wiper etc you have to transfer the glass or the wiper motor - the latter requires more hole-making but isn't hard to do. The question that intrigues me, is whether you could fit a defender drivers door to a series 3, as one of these days I might fancy the sybaritic luxury of a wind down window. I know series three side doors went through a number of changes including anti burst locks, which are a lot better than the originals, and these are easy to retro fit.

You can fit Defender doors to a series. The easiest type to fit are the early Defender doors with wind up windows and clinch hanldes as you can use Series 3 door locks with them. Having said that the Defender latching mechanism is better than the Series 3 mechanism so it's worth fitting the Defender style striker anyway. cheers Dave W. http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ >> The question that intrigues me, is whether you could fit a defender >> drivers door to a series 3, as one of these days I might fancy the [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Dave W. > http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net/ There are two types of S3 locks - the old "bolt" type and the newer anti-burst ones. In my view the latter are preferable, although horribly expensive, and I also think they are better than the early wind up window 90/110 locks, which are also very expensive. The later 90/110 doors will fit the S3, and are better engineered than the early ones - but be warned, they are a lot thicker, and you lose elbow room. There is a reason the later 90/110 have a smaller steering wheel and have the outboard seats offset further in.

I imagine the door profile and hinges are the same, if not, a quick go with a tape measure would answer that. besides, the pushbutton handles offer no notable advantages over the lift-up ones, except perhaps marginally better security. and if it rains and then freezes, the buggers freeze up. Took a closer look at a defender today and though to myself, no that external handle looks as naff as any other kind that Land Rover ever fitted, though I would still like the luxury of a window that rolls all the way down. Do they by the way, or do they stop half way not really improving on the situation with the slide windows ?

You can keep the series look and feel by going for the lift-up handle kind :-) Our Series III had three hinges, I think it was because it was a station wagon. I think the hard tops only had two hinges?

That would not be a standard fitting though, probably an extra one added to stop the door sagging as they do. Mine is a station wagon with only two.

(so far) with early defenders anyway you have the third hinge when the spare wheel carrier is citted to the rear door. Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)

Has someone been fiddling to get the door off the hard way, or did they just die a natural death ?

The double skin roof is, I am very sure, known as a safari roof. The differences in trim on the rear door are things like county trim surely? Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)
