Two quickies which are pretty minor but would be nice to fix if I can.

1. Front driver and passenger doors never close without slamming them. Is it common for these doors to drop? Anyone know how to make them shut on a gentle swing, which I assume they once did as the rear doors do.

2, Tailgate/Rear door - This just swings shut whenever there is a gentle breeze of a slight gradient. wife got hit by it today and it hurt her a bit (I do love my Disco ) - Is there a way to make it hold open when fully opened?

thanks

Have to say tailgate door on my Disco 2 usually needs a good 'shove' to close it.
Have you checked the stay on the bottom is secure ?

Leave one or more of the windows open a bit and the doors will close easier.

I didn't find it funny at all. I just do as I am told. Went to the garage for some anti freeze for wife's van, left the car round the corner from the forecourt, and yes the doors DID shut much better thanks!

Unfortunately, I no longer have a disco as some tea leaf buggered off in it. Now i realise the downside of leaving windows open.

Ha, you almost sounded pleased! I must have misinterpreted you.


BUSTED!

I have dogs with me all the time too, and I do actually leave the windows open an inch all round, I have those boy racer wind deflector (fag deflectors really) things so no rain goes in.

The front doors seem to have dropped ever so slightly, gonna have to try and adjust as I have to do a 180 every time I get out as the door bounces open on the latch.
