Serious Topic (for once) !!!

help! am presently stuck in work on OT to fund some new bits for my banger!

i noticed this mornin that my drivers door has 'fallen' slightly and the lock on the door slighty hits the catch on the bodywork when i close it(dont blame you if you dont understand me this morn! <img src= "smileys/grin.gif">)

is there anyway i can go about adjusting this?

have any of you experienced this?

its definitely off a lil as i looked through my wing mirror to look at the line down the side of the car and it drops slightly where the door meets the rear 3/4 panel



p.s. a lil over 2hrs sleep and then into an empty job = nearly impossible to have a quick 40winks <img src= "smileys/smiley12.gif">

"Usually" this happens when the door hinge pin and the hole it sits in are too loose... ie, you might need to fit a new pin.



BUT, the bolts holding the hinge are also adjustable for height I think, so might be worthwhile checking they are tight... if not, the may have slipped.



Re-adjust and tighten..

from the quick look i got at it this morn in darkness, there is a bit of adj. on the receiver, the part attached to the door, the pin on the car is non-adj. so i will give that a try...ave to find the right tool now!

weird type torx bit

tnx!
