Put the bag of rice down before closing the door :D:D:D:D

It this rear, rear door or rear passenger door?

the little spring syndrome ?

Assuming you are talking about a rear door on a Disco, try removing the LandRover badge and spray all of the latching mechanism with WD40 or equivalent. Seen this issue on a Disco down South,turned out to be lack of lubrication and dirt buildup, working WD40 into the mechanism fixed the problem.

remove the badge from the back door handle.........should just pop out......
and spray inside with plenty of wd40 or similar to clean away all the dirt and dust.........




and try it again........

sometimes the little round spring on the door latch breaks and it doesnt pop the mechanism up so it wont unlock... you can buy the little springs off ebay.uk

inc......
no.....its the rear door......(tailgate)....they dont suffer from the little spring syndrome......
just the dust syndrome.......

[incisor]

fair enough...

The cryptic rice advice went over my head too. Now I'm sitting here trying to work it out instead of working

[RonMcGr]

Okay, Cook - Rice :)

Shut the door with a bag of "? insert anything?" in you hand and it may jam in the door.......
