I have a 96 D1. The outside opening handle for the rear door has been sticking in the 'open' positon. Once the door swung open when stopping from a reverse. Questions....
1. Is there an easy fix or is replacing it best?
2. If I have to replace the handle/lic. plate lights, how easy of a job?
3. Any tricks with the locking mechanism in a replacement?
4. How do you get the rear door panel off with out tearing it up?
Thanks

pry off the oval shaped land rover logo and the on the back door hands and spray a bunch of WD-40 or any kind of penetrating oil up in there and you should be good to go.

Same problem on my 97 over the weekend. Popped off the LR oval and shot a couple squirts of the PB Blaster, then followed up with a liberal dose of the WD40. Better than new now. Be sure to wipe off what drips down under your license plate.
