Hi
You have to take Land rover badge of rear door handle,then blast a load of WD 40 in there wiggling door handle-should open it!

You can get replacement door springs off fleebay to cure this problem.

Have you tried turning the key to lift the lock button at the same time as workin the latch? that should get yer door open, then do as jason says

Mine had the same problem but like you I tried this forum for help and taking of the badge and spraying with WD 40 worked a treat, just spray and move the hinged metal plate behind the badge backwards and forwards, mine was stuck in the open position even though the door was locked.
