If the hinge is perfectly flush with the surface on both the door and door liner it should be very close (depending on the hinge) you can play about with shims to get it spot on.
You can buy shims specifically made for the job that come in a variety of thicknesses but for maximum old school chippy points use bits of old Rizla packet.
Thank you all for the door reassurance.
Will the hinge being rebated in naturally give a 3mm gap?
I know an uneven gap will do my head in, even more so if I am responsible for it.
