Title: Rear Hinges
Post by: lyndon on April 20, 2007, 16:47:20

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....

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.....
