Defender Door Hinges

Hi my dad has a 1984 110 and the door hinges are dropping a bit passeger side is okish but the drivers is so bad that the door dont want to close unless you give it a good slam and the rear door is the same dont help with big hefty wheel either. Where is the cheapest place to get a set ive looked at ebay but it seems a bit pricey for what they are its a landy not a space shuttle. cheers Kenny

Paddocks also check the rear door as due to the weight of the spare it will have most likely cracked the frame in several places. Best bet is to get a swingaway sparewheel carrier.

how pricey is pricey? your looking at £40 for 2 doors worth plus captive nuts and bolts.

eve pikey, picked up your 4ft hi lift tonight its now at the LZ Bristol depot

Cheers for the quick response ive noticed there two types im guessing one is the mirrors attached to the doors and the other is mirrors on the bulkhead or is that wrong my dads has newer push button doors at the moment

They might be cheap but there also crap, they come pre worn. I wish I'd spent a cupple of hours rebushing mine instead of chuckin em an getting new uns.

Sorted he was getting a bit miffed (hehehe), and threatening to relist it. AllI need now is some kind soul heading north to shift it on a bit.

the midlands depot now has some extra storage capacity - now the sofas gone from the garage

Drill the hinge pin holes out and shove a bit of brass down the hole with the right size hole in it to suit the hinge pin, if the brass is a good tight fit in the new holes then it shouldn't need anything other than loctight to hold em in. Then make or buy new hinge pins.

An if you take em apart to paint em or wot have you, be sure to mark them on the back so you put the corresponding parts back together correspondingly.

Is that info just incase he gets both parts confused ????

Ey up Mondo, yis cos ingiz is easily confused their not that clever you see.

ere gareth, have yer picked me bumper up yet

Think we'll give the refurbish a bash see how it turns out cant get any worse
