There is a gap in our french doors at the bottom where the doors meet I can see daylight through it and at the top and bottom there is a draught, is there a way to tighten the doors in the middle thanks

some more photos, the rod that goes into the brass holes to lock the door seems as there is massive play when locked as well

Those look like adjustable hinges. The right side door (when looking from inside) maybe just needs adjusted so the bottom of it inclusive of the attached vertical post moves a few mm to the left (again I mean when looking from inside) to close the gap that can be seen at the bottom. Or, rather than adjusting one door by quite a lot, you might elect to adjust both doors to a lesser extent but resulting in the same overall effect i.e. closing the gap.

Definetly needs adjusting , and is adjustable . Now it could be hinge adjustment or could need ' toe and heeling ' ...try hinge adjustment first but if the problem comes back i suspect the door glass will need toe and heeling. Also don't dimiss the fact it could actually be the ' slave ' door that is out of alignment rather than the opener. In theory , and I do say in theory , the weld on the door sash should be in line with the welds on the door frame
