Any thoughts on this odd little issue please?
yesterday getting into lily the drivers door seemed very stiff, and although not catching on the front wing looks closer than i'd like. Now as i don't have many friends, the front passenger door doesn't get used much, but also seems stiff.
I had the front drivers suspension redone recently, so that should be good - so any other ideas? In my little head, i am now convinced the back end has raised, but i'm fairly certain that could be an over vivid imagination....
i am such a worrier.

If the doors are stiff to open - have you greased the door hinges recently? They do need to be kept lubricated.

Re: i am such a worrier.
if the front suspension has recently been rebuilt and the rear looks high... most likely it is the front that's a bit lower than it was previously.
As for the doors - the road spray is salty at this time of year, so everything needs greasing/lubricating.

Re: i am such a worrier.
Give the door hinges a good oiling! And measure the suspension heights - don't guess at it!
