Hi folks

Long time no post.

Well the car is back on the road after some time off for bad behaviour and I am looking to sort out some of the small niggles.

On the passenger side the door has dropped a bit. If you grab the rear end of the door and lift it up you can see some movement in the top hinge.

Is there a bush in there or is it a rose joint or can it be adjusted?

I know the my old S-series and Chimaera had a plastic bush in the hinge but this looks different.

Any thoughts gratefully received.

No mine have no play in em,i just adjusted the bottom ones.keep an eye on the door lock mech on the door when doing this,because it can get close to the door shut bodywork if you drop the door a tad to much
