I have just noticed the rear door hinges on my 110 are not the same. They function and work correctly with no issues. But I am hoping to get a pair at Malver next week to rebuild and paint so I can continue using the vehicle. Are the hinges supposed to be different? Does it matter which style I get or are they all the same in terms of function?

The lower two are normally the same and the top one longer. Yours could just be an earlier and a later type mixed?
Thank you, I assumed the lower two were supposed to be the same. The lower red one is one I had in my spares box, the upper white one is an original from my 1988 station wagon. I assume as long as I get a pair the same it doesn't matter what the design is as both of these are doing the job currently and the dimensions are the same. I wonder why land rover changed the casting?
Follow up question, is the casting the same on the later style hinges as pictured above? Can you swap the modern "sealed for life" pin for the old fashioned brass ball and spring bolt affair? Or did they change the design and it is an either or for the hinge pins?
