Hi guys, i'm new to the forum so hope this is posted in the right place!

I have got a 1994 300 series Discovery and need to tighten the handbrake. Also the back door seems to have dropped.

Can anybody give me any idea on how to adjust the handbrake and sort the rear door?

Cheers - Martin

Great stuff, thanks for the advice. Think I might be here quite a lot as the inside is like a swimming pool so reading up on all the places for water leaks as well!

If your rear door is sagging then either the hinges or rear cross member are knackered. As for the hand brake, do as Sean said and adjust it via the bolt on the handbrake drum. Plenty of info on here about them.

You might do well to download a copy of the RAVE workshop manual which is very helpful. Also change your profile to show your location, there may well be someone close by that could offer assistance....
