Not closing properly ?

Loosen the screws to the hinges, on the pillar, lift door to set it at right hight, do not overly loosen, they still need to be firm, or the flop about.

Sometimes you need a really strong arm to set them at the right hight.

Having 2 people helps.

bottle jack under the slightly ajar door will also do it, support door with bottle jack. loosen screws slightly jack door & then re tighten.

Yep to both, I have also put a block under the door, and used my full weight combined with small jumps to move doors, its a case of "if at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer'

You can not buy bushes to my knowledge only hinges. make sure the body is not cracked where the hinges bolt on see it more and more now days.
