    doors?

    If the doors you have fitted at the mo' have recessed handles then yeah...straight swap, but if you've got 'proper' door handles you'll need to fit the gubbins from the series B pillar to yours.

    Changing 200TDi Timing chain probs.

    Anyways..regards the sheared and flush bolts, if access allows, could you not try an Eazi-out. A decent cordless would put the hole down the middle for ya. If that don't work then drill out the same diameter as the bolt and re-tap. I do sympathise with ya..it's dead easy to post this stuff...
