Drivers door on 110 won't shut correctly

[Glen B]

After a couple of weeks of having our 1963 110 I now can't get the door to fully close. It shuts in the first position but won't stay fully closed although this has only started today. The door lock mechanism on the door faces in a sort of 8 o clock position and will click when the interior handle is used but still won't shut fully. Has something come amiss? I remember on my old Ford Consul there was a star shape mechanism on the door which sometimes had to be knocked in with a blow with a hammer and chisel. Is there a knack to sorting the P4 mechanism?

PS, it's the drivers door.

Sorted it. The plate on the door had moved inwards a little bit. Adjusted it back out and it's ok now.
