Might be the latch, or could be the loom where it flexes between B post and door or a dodgy connection. Unusual for the rear latches to fail.

what exactly does the error alarm say? "rear left door open"? i take it this is on the dash?

Yes beeps every so often stating door is open but it’s not

Cleaner will do nothing for the switches which are sealed micro switches, however it may be that the mechanism is stiff so lubrication may help, 3 in 1 spray for example NOT WD40 which leaves a deposit.

Seems to be latch related can’t seem to find a replacement. Also can’t find anyone near West Midlands who would do the job either.

Try James Coleman (Range Rover P38 UK) on https://www.facebook.com/groups/314522172231316/
One of the P38 facebook pages, he is a very trusted seller he may have a replacement and is very, very quick.
You can also buy replacement micro switches, Marty use to do replacements on here but I think he has gone back to New Zealand
