I've spent today trying to find a NS rear door after my Dad reversed into the campervan, in a car with reversing sensors and a camera. A quick look shows only the door to be KO'd. The hardest thing about getting the van repaired is going to be finding a door, I think the body style is a L2H2 as the van was a 15 seat minibus in a previous life.

The mk7 was short,medium and long in length and low medium and high in roof height.

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

It's true that i don't use it much, but I do still need a van around. It's sorned because it's smoking excessively, and needs a new MOT, so it's been put aside for work to be carried out at my usual snails pace.

The procrastination is strong in me these days, but I'm currently trying to cash in my pension pot, so I may consider buying another van :idea: :mrgreen:
1994 Mk4 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (R.I.P.)
1997 Mk5 SWB 115 Minibus 70ps Di (Gone, but not forgotten!)
2004 Mk6 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.0 TDDi - Vantunered (Also gone)
2008 Mk7 SWB T280 Medium Roof 85PS 2.2 TDCi - Also Vantunered

It's medium height.

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

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
