Parts interchangeable between D8/D9

[FarmerPug]

his lights were modified

[Gary406]

yes but not from a D9 ...

he modified his own D8 lights

D9 lights wont fit onto a D8

[Catflem]

Sill rubbers - are interchangeable between the D8 and D9, and are the same for saloons and estates.

I took a couple off a D8 saloon and fitted them to my D9 estate, and the D8 ones appear to be better quality as well

Are the front seat belts interchangeable

Are the front seat belts interchangeable

As far as I know they should be. Can't see there being any differences. I've got a set of the front ones in the shed from a D9. If there's a certain part of the belts that you're unsure of let me know & I'll see what these ones are like.

Hi Mate i need the complete belt for the from as I've got a greyhound that preferred the soft belts instead of his rubber bone. I just wanted to know before i go round the local scrappy's

[waue1978]

If you strike out on the local ones, let me know. I've got loads of bits to clear out:

The part numbers are different, although the pretensioners are the same (I would have expected it to be the other way around). The D9 belts mention side airbags so perhaps that's the difference and the brackets angle them in different directions The fixing screws are different threads too. As with Mr. Waue I can't see why they'd not fit but but, without my cristal ball, I can't say they will for definite.

Best way to be sure then is to get them from the same year as your car. The ones I have in the shed matched the ones that were in the car, but they came from a W plate & my car was an X (both with side airbags).

Besides the great D8/D9 devide, the only differences appear to be the colours.

Will the boot from a D8 fit a D9.

[highlander]

I seem to recall there's a slight difference in shape between a D8 saloon boot and a D9. But I could be wrong. I know the rear lights are different.

[jonsowman]

Indeed, they're different shapes. The D9 one is tapered whereas the D8 is 'square'.
