Peeping out of my garage in my 'surfeit of Omegas' pic on July 6th were 2 PFL estates, a 1998 R reg GLS and a 2000 CDX, subject of this thread, both in blue. I have owned the R reg car for 11 years, it is the wife's car, and she is very fond of it. May I presume that the rear doors of that would fit my new 2000 CDX. It has wind up rear windows.

EPC lists 3 different door shells for Omega B estate depending on chassis number...

90460797/90460798 for chassis R1000001-T1000766 (superceeded to 90541740/90541743)
90563269/90563269 for chassis T1000767-X1999999
9147948/9147948 for chassis Y1000000 ->

My EPC only goes to 2001, but I think the Y chassis number is the facelift. If true, that means there are two possible pre facelift estate doors. If both your cars lie within the same chassis number range you should be Ok. If they're not then your guess is as good as mine.

Thanks. R reg. is chassis no. 1243950; V reg. is 1080638. So I guess my two are not the same so not interchangeable.

It's the letter in the chassis number that matters. Every year (in September IIRC) the letter increases by one, and the seven digit number resets to 1000001. The Number plate letter is less important - it just shows when the car is registered with DVLA. So your 'R' reg might be chassis number T1243950, and your V reg chassis number Q1080638, in which case they'll both be the same.

1998 car chassis no. is W0L0VBF35W1243950
2000 car chassis no. is W0L0VBM35X1080838
Does this help?

The 1998 car is a body-type F35, W = 1998 model year, 1 = Russelheim, sequence number = 243950
The 2000 car is a body-type M35, X = 1999 model year, 1 = Russelheim, sequence number = 080838

I can't work out what the difference between a F35 and M35 is, but since the vin numbers both lie in the range T1000767 to X1999999, then they should both have the same doors.

Thank you gentlemen. Yes, Al, the CDX has a sun roof, he GLS has not. So should the GLS predecease the CDX I shall swap the rear doors.
