Dodgy Dropped Drivers Door

This one's probably been covered before but never mind. The driver's door on our van is mis-aligned at the back edge (where the handle is). When you close it, you can see it sits about 10-15mm lower than the door recess. It closes but I'd like it to be right. I thought it might need the door pins replacing but there doesn't seem to be any wear, ( if I lift the door there's no apparent play in it). I tried (quickly) to undo the hinge bolts and reposition it but that didn't seem to make any difference. Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Thanks.

Appologies to all, i didn't mean to cause ofense, and of yes, very rude not to introduce ourselves.

We're Haydn & Lucy, we recently bought a very '80s, chocolate brown and beige '86 T25 and are loving it. It needs a bit of TLC but nothing too major and runs nicely. It got us the 350miles back from Edinbrough where we bought it without a hitch. We're looking forward to using it as much as possible and are heading back to Scotland in April for a two week tour, including Orkney. Should be great fun. Lucy has already made some new curtains and seat cover for it and we're doing the little jobs before the big trip. We're also going to a van festival or two during the summer. It's surprising how quickly you get submerged in the whole scene, it's great. Hope to see you on the road.

Thanks for the link Cruz. I did read through most of this a few days ago but missed the bit about packing out the hinge. I'll give that a go, see if it helps. cheers.
