I've only just purchased the car in the last 2 days, and I'm new to Land Rovers.

I had to pull the trim off both doors to get at least give everything a spray with wd40, as I didn't like having to force things. This did the trick in freeing everything up. I found the locks had solenoids attached. I don't have a remote if it ever did have one, and they don't work with the key in the door. I don't care for remote entry or central locking on this car, but the locks have to function in order to get a road worthy cert.

The passenger door is missing the key barrel. Other than that it's working as it should.

The drivers door lock is just plain weird. I have to fully turn the key and pull on the door handle to get it to unlock/open. Once it's open it's fine to open and close the door. If I push the lock down on the inside, then pull it up, I can't get out from inside.

This issue I have with the drivers door isn't some feature that would work fine with the central locking if it was working?

Hi mate,
Sounds like the rods in the doors need adjusting. Discoweb has a great tutorial with pictures - it's a fairly simple job. I have had to do it for both discos I have owned.
