Hi All,
My drivers side door has dropped somewhat.
To raise it back up is it as simple as loosening the nuts on the inside of the hinges, lifting the door and then tightening back up?
Cheers,
Z

Yes, although you should first check the wear on the hinge pins. With the door slightly open grab the outer edge of the door or external handle and lift. If there's a lot of movement you should consider replacing the pins. Most of the Mini spares places should have them.
