    At least they adjusted the door and then tried it for leaks. I'm sure LR never checked the Disco for leaks.

    Aligning doors with blocks of wood, steel levers, hammers, etc is normal practice on assembly lines. Many of the odd tools are nutted out and made by the assemblers. The guys get pretty good at aligning panels in the restricted time available at their line station. Frightened hell out of me the first time I saw a door being slammed onto a block of wood at GM-H Pagewood, or a block of wood jammed in one end of the boot lid and a great steel lever applied to the other. P76 fit-up was so bad in many cases that nothing would help. Some of the rejects we got as company cars, you could insert all fingers into the gaps.

    similar fine adjustments are often made at that "pre-delivery" service that they charge you for
