What did you do to your mk6/7 today?

[loot]

I would say post a full picture of the back doors and we can tell you exactly, I would imagine the 15 seater to be long and high roof. Could be medium medium I guess

The four letter code on the VIN plate is JXFA, length is given as 5907mm.

It's medium height.

So length not being important then that's the door you'll need

Fyi the length of the panel from the back of the sliding door to the wheel arch is where the length comes into it. Lwb iirc is 10 inches, but again a side picture will tell us but it's not important. Quick look on ebay isn't throwing doors at me though
Might be a scrap yard job,I would say cheaper too if you're picking them up.

You didn't say a location

Medium height doors seem to be hard to find.
Looked before for them and got lucky, not seen many.

Faceache marketfarce might be worth a try if nothing on the Bay

Ebay has thrown a couple of medium doors at me but nothing local to Bristol which would help.

I sometimes search for transit mk7 breaking as it includes vans that don't specify doors. There's 3 door heights only the low level which are very obvious when you look at them but then the medium and high, you get used to seeing them and knowing. It might be worth a go.keep watching and you'll drop Lucky before long. In marketplace you can make the search radius whatever size you're happy with.
Other option is to call a few breakers yards.

Refitted the cab interior into a Mk6 campervan which I am "restoring"! Jaguar XFR million-way electrically adjustable seats - these are super comfy compared to the old Transit ones! Was fairly easy to fit them, needed the bases redrilling and captive nuts welding in the correct place. Wiring dead easy too. The Transit seatbelt even fits the Jaguar buckle, and the loose end of the seatbelt fits on the bolt on the side of the Jag seat - too easy! Probably a hangover from when Ford owned Jaguar

Very nice, Conrod!
I've been wanting to do something similar with my van for a long time. I'm 6'3" so the standard seat is so uncomfortable for me! I'd also love to have the passenger seat swivel to face the rear for when we are parked up.

I can recommend these seats! I put them aside from a car I broke for parts. The seat base can be electrically extended forward on the drivers seat. Both seats are height adjustable, although you are obviously limited by the height of the Transit seat base "boxes". I think at 6'3" you might need to cut the driver's seat base box down by a couple of inches? Battery clearance might be an issue though? Rearward movement is limited by the back of the cab wall, seeing as this was built on a cab/chassis. It's okay for me at 5'10" but you would probably run out of legroom in this. Does yours have rear wall behind seats? Passenger swivel seat should be do-able with a swivel base, can't see any problems with that. Wouldn't work on the drivers side as the handbrake is attached to the seat base!

It’s more fun to drive a slow vehicle fast then a fast vehicle slow, that vans no that slow it’s a 115

Seems quite pokey for a wee van, that's for sure.

Few little bits needed, but absolutely nothing major. Joys of working for a vehicle recyclers, got my first replacement part for it. NS mirror casing is cracked so thats on the weekend job list now

Picked up a glazed sliding door (which needs a wee bit of tlc) some roof rails and a fuel filler cap.

Oh and a diesel heater
