What's happening here

[Jay20VT]

For some reason or another the passenger door springs back open when pushed to close. However, if I push really hard it will close but that is not right.
It's like something is stopping it and when it does finally close it's like it hits the latch. Weird one

It looks like your door trim is fine, & assumethe lock mechanism is not seized.
Is there anything out of place on the hinge side of door?

Hi, nice to hear from you again.
Nah, I checked the door fully. On the day I even went away and made a cuppa and chilled and slept and still can't bloody work out what's changed lol

Sounds like the door catch isn't catching properly alowimg it to pop back open. New door catches are cheap.
To start I would check that the catch is lining up tithe the striker on the B pillar first. If that's all OK then change the door catch

Door lock bolts are adjustable with slight movement

I don't know that , I thought they was counter sunk so just aligned the lock in the hole , so adjustment done on the striker pin.... every day is a school day
