T25 sliding door

Post by maslan »

Hello

I am new to this and wanted some advice. The bottom of my T25 (RHD) sliding door is rotten and was wondering if it was better to replace the whole lower panel, get it welded and put right or just source a new (2nd hand!) door.

If so, where is best for me to find a door?

Thanks

Madeline :)

Repairing the bottom of the door is a straightforward job.
Getting a second hand one depends on whether it is a late or early door, early ones are very rare and getting a good one even rarer.

Thank you, I think also it's because the lock is broken and it has a dent he thought it may be just quicker and therefore cheaper. The only rot is the bottom panel which I know i can get from justkampers, although I know not original.

I'll keep my eye out because the ones i've seen have ranged from about £100 - £500 and I can't see why. I think mine's an earlier version. But still need to read more into it.

It depends on the model year, pre 85 early, after 85 late
