Why are Discovery doors so bloody hard to adjust.... 
I have been having to push my shoulder against the passenger door to open it since I had the door off for some sill welding in the Summer, but went out today and it refused to open.
That, combined with something getting caught when opening and closing the window I decided to investigate and try and fix it all.
The catching was a bracket that holds the inner door pull bar tight to the door skin, it was pulled down and broke when I moved it.
I tie wrapped it up as well as the loose central locking wire that was getting caught by the window.
Then I spent a couple of hours adjusting door catches, removing spacers, getting the door stuck shut, thinking that was it a couple of times and eventually getting it to open every time without nudging it with my shoulder.
Its still not perfect, its (And I've tried to think of another word to use) Stiff to open, but If I try any more adjustments it gets stuck shut.
So I'll leave it now, it opens first time, but needs a good pull (Not Tug. )
