The side door has dropped so how can I put this right, theres a rail up the top, and a rail at the bottom, but there don't seem to be any place to adjust, or perhaps the brackets are bent I dont know.

Check to see if the pins in the hinges are worn out. I really dont' think we have much info for this vehicle.

For slide doors there are adjustments for the brackets. Usually adjustment are made at the bottom rollers arm. You might need to remove the door panel to get at adjustment bolts

LDV Maxus 2007 SWB Van, issue with sliding door, doesn't fully close at the top.
I also noticed that the middle roller on the runner can be seen when closed, first three pictures with door closed, then open all the rollers (i hope it helps).

And rear door also doesn't close at the top (no pictures, will do tomorrow).
Need some guidance please, thank you so much for your time.

Kind regards,

Silvia

Looks like there is quite a bit of wear and tear on the doors so the fact that they don't fit properly when closed is not that surprising. This is a pretty common issue on sliding doors.

So, if the top of the door is not fully closing then either something is bent, or the hinges need adjusting.

Unfortunately, we don't have a manual on this vehicle but just looking at these hinges, it appears the adjustments are done on them with the bots that I circled.

So, to adjust the top of the door, you want to push the top hinge in or the bottom out and that will pivot the door.

However, again based on the look of the floorboards I suspect the door is bent.
