thanks for your answers but im going to cut the sill back as that is stopping the door and wrenching the hinges

Phil - prob stating the obvious, but have you checked the door handle won't then hit the glass [if the door will lay flush with the window? once the sill's cut back]
Sometimes it helps to stick a pic on here with imageshack or the like

I wouldn't cut the sill, it's there for a reason, it's designed to stop rainwater from discharging onto the brickwork thereby preventing penetrating damp. It'll look awful too.
