Wen I read the heading I thought u had seen in the back of my van
Local Breakers
eBay
Or go onto the internet an put in the type of van and search van breakers, u have to enter ur email and breakers around the country will email u with prices
I have bought quite a few bits from a breaker in Scotland for vans and p&p was reasonable to Liverpool.

Oops! Rodney you plonker springs to mind
Easy done though if you are not paying attention like the massive tree I inadvertently reversed into in my old berlingo van. The ladders took all the force of the impact and tore the roof bars off...Oops!

I managed to reverse into a mini-skip a few years ago. Noticed a parking gap between cars and got distracted while reversing into the space - oops!
Result, one dented back door. There were already a number of dents on the van (not by me), so as it opened and closed ok, I just left it as it was.

I have reversing sensors on the back of the renault master which comes in very handy indeed...
No more reversing into trees for me

It must be the time of year ! I backed up for someone in the lane on Wednesday and clipped something sticking out the hedge which promptly wrecked the OS Rear Tail light unit of my Ranger - fortunately £22 from Ebay and 5 minutes fitting saw a brand new unit and the problem sorted.

What year is it Dave ?
If its old shape ( guessing not ) then it should be easy to get another door from ebay or scrappies.
Are you looking at expert and scudo too ?
