Series 3 doors on a Defender?

I think your reasoming is correct, they are definitely the same profile and, as you say, with the right striker plates they will fit.

Yep. just the striker plate needs swapping, the doors hinges etc fit the same hole. Likewise, you can put later 90/110 doors on a Series, if you want the added security of anti burst latches. Check the door rubber/draught seal though, sometimes they don't quite work when you change the doors, or refit the originals...

Thanks both, I've got a chap looking out for some for me. What about limiting straps or whatnot to stop the door opening too far, do they have them, will they fit, and I wonder if I want them anyway!

You definitely want them. I did it the other way round, with a Defender door on a series 3 .. we cut a leather belt up to make a check strap as the first time we came to a stop, door opening, it creased quite badly .. ;)

Series door seals never work. Its a design feature, to let the water back out again after wading

Defender door seals work for about three months...

I don't care what sort of feature it is supposed to be. Right now, shortly after battling my way 300 miles through a serious amount of rain (200mm worth whilst I was travelling) in a IIa I'm somewhat over leaks and definitely going to put effort into an improved windscreen wiper setup. I'd forgotten how totally s**te SATs are on wet tarmac too.
