Trouble sourcing Door Hinge Pins

[Mitzy]

Hi Folks,
My Micra suffers from sagging doors, but when I contacted my local Nissan dealer, I was told the hinge pins are not sold separately and come as part of a whole hinge assembly (£40ish each).
Can anyone please tell me if there is a specific part number I can ask for or anywhere these can be bought online - I've already checked Ebay

Thanks,
Jane

Check out the scrapyards will be loads cheaper and its pretty easy to test if the doors working properly before you remove them

If the doors arnt too bad you can lever them up a bit. door slightly open, lift the door with alot of effort (or you can use a bit of wood as frank did).

+1 :grinning: its usually more of a stretch/sag problem than wear in the hinges imo (unless you can literally see the pins moving about)

Thanks solarice, I had planned a visit to the scrappie this morning.....however further snow in my area stopped that little adventure. Will have another go next weekend.:grinning:

Thanks to Noddie & Frank, on further scouting of this website I did spot the 'timber adjustment method'.....which will be my first try, with assistance. I like the idea of the 'snidey fix' as I decided it would be called. I'll have a closer look at the pins, I'm not convinced they are perhaps worn as you state Frank......thanks all :grinning:

the angle of the hinge bracket on the chassis can be adjusted slightly by removing the front wing panel, support the door thats almost closed, loosen the upper/lower hinge bracket from the chassis, lift the door angle slightly, retighten the brackets, check the door lock latches properly.

Pollyp, thanks for that.
Looks like I've a few 'adjustment' type options prior to any major purchase. Will get back to you all on how I progress.
Cheers,
