drivers side door dropped

MikeDISCO · Mar 15, 2010

Been bugging me for a few days, the drivers side front door seem to have dropped.
If I hold the door nearly shut it is around 10mm out at the top ( too far back)

I have taken a quick look and seems like a pin in the hinge is worn or is this something you guys have seen before>?

Hi. Just fixed mine. 2000 TD5 Same problem worn top hinge drivers door.
Bought 2 hinges off E'bay £20 including postage. Changed both in just over an hour just put blocks under door so it wouldn't drop and changed one at a time.

Same problem on 300tdi?

Look at the front of the door, the two screws that hold the hinges on have some spacers behind them, remove/replace as necessary. Note, on mine they were slotted spacers so don't (as I found out) undo the screws all the way as the nut behind the door isn't captive!!
