Different door hinge pins on each side?! pics included

[whom]

Hi all!

I was lubing up bits and bobs (mainly the useless bonnet latch!) and noticed one of my drivers side door hinge pins had unwound itself!! The top one is screwed in from below and was halfway to falling out.

Then I noticed that the pins on the passenger side are a pin and clip design rather than threaded. See below for pics of both.

Which is standard?! And can I assume the car has had a new door or at least new pins on one side?

Top is standard.

My car has got the bottom ones, I would say they are the standard ones...

Sounds like they swapped over from one design t'other at some point, what age are your cars bmh and ricky?

The ones with the torx head are a newer design im sure, had this at work before that when you order new pins they can be different from the original as they updated them. Means your door must have been off in the past for some reason, wouldnt worry about it aslong as they open, shut and line up fine!

I see, thanks for the info. It doesn't exactly line up... the very top rearmost corner touches the body as the door slams shut so it's missing a round 1mm bit of paint... I'll live! I also get a turbulent wind noise from around the rear part of the door, anyone else get this?

Bottom brassy coloured one is standard or is on my 182 and seen the same on a few 1.2s.

The retaining clip popped off my top one and the pin wiggled its way out until the door dropped, so that's possibly why its been changed.
