My car has just come back from the garage after having a new clutch pedal in as the mechanism snapped and my drivers door has for some reason dropped
cant see how its happened
you can feel the play in the door hinges
Now the question is "How to sort it as it looks like the hinges are welded
Any ideas?

thanks in advance

Simon

I found mine quite easy to do, though I had to drill out another Williams 1 pin, which took ages.

If you can get lots of heat and WD40 into the hinge pin. Dont go crazy trying to undo them. These guys snap very easily.

But be careful with the heat, plastic wings are nearby!
