Today started fitting my rear door and using a defender rear door so thought i may as well fit the third hinge but does this look right any help would be great before I start drilling holes into new parts

It looks OK from what I can see (not a lot I must add). What do you think is wrong? The body section of the hinge looks squint but then you have not bolted it up yet, remember these run on a brass bearing, so there is some wriggle room as long as it is within tolerance of the bolt.

Check the door gap at the top before you drill any holes. The hinge is too far down. The bolt holes should be around 4-5mm up from the bottom of the new galved metal bracket.

This is mine. It’s zoomed in quite a bit, so isn’t the best photo.
