On of the rear passenger doors on my Disco2 is hard to open. The handle mechanism only releases if you pull violently. It feels like the latch does not move soon enough within the travel of the handle. Is there a way this can be adjusted?

I would try lubrication of the catch and handle mechanism with a spray lube.

As above but you could also try adjusting the striker on the 'C' pillar if you have no luck.

The lubrication does not help. I am almost certain it relates to the handle/catch mechanism as it feels different to the other door handles. I will try and remove the handle next.
