For my Disco 2 I haven't seen or had any problems with the rear hinges.Is that a common failure item?
Ok did this to my d2 hinges - what a difference. Now I can shut it without feeling like its being forced. my still do the zerk fitting later just to keep more grease in and most moisture out.Didn't do it on my D2, but on my Range Rover Classic. The lift gate hinges are famous for seizing up. So I drilled holes, just large enough for a spray grease straw, in the hinge barrels down to the pin. When sprayed, the grease came out both ends of the hinge, job done. May be the simplest way, and not weaken the hinge.
