Common problem. Especially 3 doors. New hinges really mate or you can use washers as a temporary fix.

Is it likely to be top and bottom hinge or just the lower one

There's a bolt on the top hinge that if you tighten it up it should lift up the handle side of your door, my 3 door was the same kept slightly catching the bottom, eventually taking away the paint!  :cry:

Hope this helps you  :grin:

My passenger door dropped, so I took it to a body shop and all they did was jack the door up until lit was realigned. It's been a year on and the door is still okay.
