You know that and I know that, but if everybody did the job then the OP wouldn't be having this kind of trouble.

I'm sure even with all the usual preventative checks and services, our Landies will still keep us on our toes ...

Those hinges are completely kaput - change them yesterday
Definitely a two person job - I get three for safety - YMMV.
I've done a few of these now, and I found that the door just sits nicely in my machine mart workmate - protected by an old towel, and a jack under the towbar to stop anything moving too much.
Thanks for the reply I'll defiantly keep the door shut until the parts arrive.

And while it's off, check the spare wheel hanger, take it off and give it a brush ... ours was like swiss cheese on the long panel ...

I will do thanks.
I am looking at this part for the replacement https://www.britishparts.co.uk/products/6221-tailgate-hinge-BHB700051
I think I'll change both hinges as the door is coming off any way.

If the door's coming off also look at the door stay-check in the cross member, it's prone to collect rubbish in it ...

I managed to change the hinges with out taking off the door by swapping the damaged bottom hinge first then changing the top hing.
Removing the bottom hing was a bit a a pain because the are riveted in at an angle that makes it difficult to drill out, so i used a dremel to get them out once this was done it was simple to unbolt and remove.
After a bit of adjustment my back door is not sagging any more and shuts like new result! I have attached a few pics if anyone is interested.

The job, as they say, is a good un.
Glad you got it fixed.
