Driver door doesnt stay open

[jdr]

Its only a small but anoying problem, when I open the driver door It doesnt stay open if you let go it will swing back and shut. The passenger door stays in position when open.
Anyone know whats broken or not tight enough? and is it an easy fix?

Check strap, the bolts are either loose, or the strap has gone

exacly same thing with mine i think my straps broke it you have a close look between the joints you will be able to tell if its broke if you compare it to your passenger side door :)
