Door drop -bad hinge?

[skyrocketeer]

I've discovered that the hard-to-open passenger door is down to the fact that the top hinge has a fair bit of play, allowing the door to drop and bind on the striker. Am I right in thinking that I can simply replace the pin? Just that the parts catalogue only lists the hinges as a complete assembly and replacement of the whole hinge looks like a door-off type scenario (not my favourite...)

You should just pop down to your local scrappie, As I think the Golf and Polo should use the same hinge, so just nick the pin/hinge from them

Hmm, will check ETOS for part numbers, but that makes the availability a bit easier.

So the bonus questions is: Can anyone reccomend a Seat (or Seat friendly) breaker in or near Bristol???
