Rear Hinges

[lyndon]

My rear door has dropped ever so slightly. Is there any adjustment or is it new hinges?.

New hinges, have seen some people drill them out & put pins/bolts & washers in but not very sucessfully, news ones are about £35 each,

My local dealer supplied the hinges as used on a Disco II - much better design and did the trick.  You may be able to get away with doing the top hinge first....

So I take it theres no adjustment then ?

Not on the rear door but there is on the front ones, a series of shims allow you to adjust them You could try putting washers behind the bottom hinge only as that will lift the door upwards but I haven't tried it so it would be a case of try it and see.

there is minor adjustment, on the door and the hinge where it locates to the rear 1/4. i drilled and replaced the pin , good job but will also get a later hinge iff i have to re do it. cheers alan.....
