My bottom door pin bolt does rhis also, but since the door has minimal drop I have decided to leave well alone. The only solution I could think of was to cut the head of the pin off and then lift the hinge plate over the stub, leaving it as an insitu door pin. Probably wont help with the sheared bolt problem.
Good luck

Maybe it has undone from the captive nut in the body and is now rotating in the nylon bush held in the door part of the assembly? Have you undone the 2 nuts that hold the assembly in the door? If you do a forum search - there have been a few threads on this topic with some quite good pics as well.

On my S1.5 it is a threaded bush which is fibreglassed into the body. Mine started to spin when I tried to undo it. I managed to dig it out and fit a new one - a real b*****d of a job! I described the repair on a previous thread. Try a search or drop me an email if you want to have a go at replacing it yourself.
Good luck!
