Back door sticking

(1/2) > >>

sulley:
The back door on my L reg disco is getting really hard to open (again) the last time it just clearded itself, but today I had to use both hands and a damned good pull to get it to open.

Any ideas what could be causing this and how I get fix it?

beast5680:
have a look where it meets the door lock it may have dropped and be binding on the catch or the little slipper arangement just below it sits on?

TimM:
Is it your lock that's stiff or your hinges?

If it's the lock, pop out the Green Oval on the back and have a good clean behind, then give it a good dose of WD40  :wink:  Sticking locks is a common problem as they can get a lot of dirt in them without it being obvious, and they never get cleaned out properly.

If it's the hinges....... oil them  :lol:

johnpirate:
When mine was like this .I changed the top hinge which had wore away to almost nothing. That cured it for a while .I had to change the rear body crossmember which was rotten and the body was flexing.

mud-club-matty:
if its the lock take the landrover badge out and spray it with wd40 or something like that but if its the hinges u might need 2 new ones


thx matty
