    Adjusting the door

    Hi im wanting to adjust my drivers side door as it dosent seem to sit right. Had a look at there is a big torx screw on the hinge bit? Is this all I need to do, just loosen and tighten? Thanks in advance, Rob.

    most of the time the hinges are actually bent as apposed to the pins being worn, but its cheaper and easier to just change the pins first, there isn't any adjustment on them its just that the pins can sometimes wear and make it sag.

    yeah the pins where really bad and are expensive from renault. got some newer ones from scrap cars and replaced the worn ones. passenger doors and rear doors are the best source as there used less. other than that its brute force
