Front door latch adjustment on Disco

Hopefully there is some adjustment? :wink:

8)hey pedro, you must have similar problem to mine I presume the drivers door is dropping and catching at the top of the window frame-
this is a bit technical but the good chaps at solihull made adjustment a bit finicky so i developed a complex method to get door closure right back the way it should be--- just open the door a little bit , grasp the bottom of the door with right hand at rear and lift -- it may take a few goes but it works, seems the door pillar is not as strong as one would like [after all what difference would another 100 lbs of structure make!]

Hi harry! that may solve the wind noise around the navs door!!
but what I meant to say,,,
the actual door handle doesnt open the door untill lots of pressure at the very end of the pull,,
helps to explain things,, :wink:

8) ok Pedro, now I'm tuned in, but you don't say whether you're trying to board or bail out, not that it matters as I don't know the answer with rover. I had an old ford mit similar problem, was the thingy wot was pulled by the handle rods to release the catch, its pivot was worn enough to just do wot yours is doing. carefull rework with butchers tools worked, but the real fix was to buy a new latch assy

I can remember opening doors on a 85 rangie that had the same problem. ( including no heater!)
