You won't believe how good they are, Scratcher!
I browsed for the seals I thought might be the ones, and emailed them with the numbers and asked for some free samples of them. They arrived the next morning and the whole thing was sorted and ordered before dinnertime today!
I have a really old door (on a really old campervan!) and the seal has gone on the inside of the door aperture. You can see daylight coming through. It's an arm and a leg to get it replaced, won't come out, you need a specialist (who would probably say you needed a new door - quite right, I do!)
However, I can't afford that, so a bit (well a lot- weeks) of thinking later, Eurika! I wondered if there was anything I could fit around the outside of the door, so that when it closed against the door aperture, it would stop draught/water ingress. And yes, there is!
The sample looks great. Fits really well, and shuts out the daylight/draught from the outside of the door. I've tried it at different points all around the door itself, just to make sure the door will still shut and lock when in place. It's flexible and got a really good grip, so I'm delighted. It cost around £14 with postage and vat for 4 metres and will make the door look really like new, like there's a new black trim right around the edge. 
Edited to add, I will add before and after photos if poss, so you can see the difference. I'm well pleased!
