I have a gap down the left of my front door as of the door is leaning from right to left, there's a gap at the top left of the door too. I've attached pics of the door and the hinges. I've tried loosening the screws on the top hinges and pushing the door back into the hinge but it hasn't really changed anything. Any advise gratefully received thanks in advance.

Ignore the part about packing the door up before loosening the allen bolts. For now just adjust the top one, remove cover cap, loosen bolt and from the handle side of the door with a thin chisel lever the door over towards the hinge side, keep it there while tightening the bolt. To release tension on the hinge pins remove cap on middle hinge, release the bolt, let the pin find it's own position laterally then just lock off the bolt
Are you sure
It's the same hinge
You have to pull the cap off, it shows you on the video
It's a horse shoe shaped spring steel cap that clips on and off, it doesn't have any screws holding it on, open the door and try and push it out from behind or just enough to create a gap from the front and get a thin blade in there to prize it off
