Like i have done with past Landy doors  :roll:  , gentle persuasion with the door open and a foot or assistant in the appropriate position and pull, watch the glass though or remove it first! Let us know how you get on  :)

I have exactly the same problem, with the added excitement of the door opening it's self whilst I am driving, somebody must have the answer of how to adjust the doors so they open/close properly?

You would be better off using a latch from a garden gate ...........  ;)

You could use shims on the hinges to adjust the door better. Of get a Shogun!! lol. I'm sure I will have this to come with the Yellow Canary!! (LR 90, 1986)
