I just adjusted the driver's door on my newly acquired F Type convertible.

The gap at the bottom of the door near the hinge end was a few mm higher than the other end of the door and it just looked wrong.

It was a pretty simple task to adjust the door. I opened the door fully which exposed the hinges. The hinge bolts to the door (rather than those going in to the body) were slacked off and light pressure was applied to the top of the door (hinge end) to drop it the required distance. As a precaution I placed a jack under the door (with suitable protection) at the midway point to stop the door dropping too far. The bolts were retightened and in total it took no more than 10 minutes.

I forgot to take some pictures but I will upload some later showing which bolts need to be loosened off.
