Door Sag

The drivers door on my 1968 Minor sags, so when you shut it, you have to pull or push harder than for the other doors to enable the latch etc to pull the door up. I have tried adjusting the hinges and it hasn't made any difference.
Could this be the pins? Is this a common problem, and if I replace it, should I start with an oversized pin?
Thanks, Aaron

To check the hinge pins open the offending door and lift it by the open edge up and down while looking at the hinges if you see the movement in the hinges your will either have to get some oversize pins and drill them to suit or get a pair of hinges from one of the specialists.
But if the movement is from below the hinge at the lower end of the A post you have got a problem with the lower section of the A post coming away.
It wont be difficult to see which it is.
