If the rear roller is intact, sounds like one of the front roller brackets had come loose. Set the height with the bottom one, and the in&out with the little bracket and single screw on the bottom one. Then ensure that the top roller is well into it's track.
The rear one rarely needs adjustment.

Thanks David butI have got the top and bottom rollers in but am unable to get the middle set of rollers into the track I can get the top and midddle or top and bottom into the tracks but not all three at once and I am going mad it's like trying to solve a rubiks cube. HELP!

middle first, then you'll need one of the others removed then replaced after. Check that the bottom one is located correctly, you'll need to slacken the little M6 screw to let it into it's track, then slide that plate in so the horizontal roller is in it's track. You need to lie on the ground and look up to see it's track...

Not quite clear on what you mean. Are you saying that the door does not close? More detail needed.
I had a time when the front latched locked but the rear one did not. Result the rear one was in the locked position, needed the latch to be forced back into the open position and then worked in unison with the front.

can anyone tell me if it is posible to adjust the sliding door..the problem is you have to pull out the rear of the door to get it to slide rearward, the back roller does not seem to move the door out early enough.

You can, yes. The latch is at the rear, it's probably dropped slightly and is catching on it. Try dropping the striker plate a little before you mess with the rollers tho
