rekab69 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Hi All, The back door on my 98 110 is a pain to open, if I take the weight of it by lifting under the spare wheel and yanking, (it's become that bad)I can get it open. I don't believe the door has dropped as there isn't any movement in the hinges, and I have adjusted the striker plate.. So I want to buy the catch part but what is it's technical name as I can only find the lock assembly...? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 rear end door lock parts page 813/814 striker is item 14 or 15 depending on vehicle age/chassis number, the dovetail to help relieve some spare wheel weight from the lock/hinges is item 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush65 Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 Land Rover door locks are one of my pet hates - they are not designed for the dusty conditions in Aus (other manufactures put their door seals outside of the locking mechanism, but Land Rover locks are outside the seals, exposed to the elements). Dusty conditions affect the locks of all Land Rover doors and make them increasingly difficult, up to impossible to unlock. I have had this happen many, many times, but is reasonably easy to fix by a thorough spray with WD40 or similar when they start playing up. If that is not the problem/fix, then there may be something broken or worn or otherwise stuffed in the mechanism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbs Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Rekab69, what you may find to help you is what a mate of mine has to do with his rear door when you're trying to open the rear door you push onto the handle at the same time as trying to lift it to open the door-this put's a pressure of some sorts to help the door lock/catch undo HTH John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
