Hey lads,
Got a 2003 gu,the driver and passenger doors have sagged down about 3-4mm,is there any adjustment on the hinge bolts or the pins?
Any help would be great!
Thanks Jake.

Not really, there is a little bit but not very much at all.

You have a few choices,
new hinge set (about $100)
2nd hand hinge set (which will be partially worn already)
getting your hinges re-pinned (dunno who does it now but it can be done)

The hinges are a common replacement. Give Patrolapart a call or send them an email mate for a price. Check their eBay store for a price too.

He sure did but I think he is enjoying retirement now.

I've got a new set of genuine door hinges sitting here from Patrolapart that I still haven't gotten around to fitting yet.

all I did was undo the 2 nuts on the bottom hinge on the door and fitted a spacer washer on the bottom bolt, tightened up and door shuts perfectly
