My 1997 Disco 1 has a boot full of really heavy and nasty stuff, and the door (tailgate) lock has just stopped working. It won't open from inside or out and the lock tabs seem to work OK. Using the key makes no difference. Reading various messages on Google seems to suggest that squirting WD40 through the hole under the LR plastic logo might free it without access and dismantling inside the car. The WD40 is in the boot under some of the junk and family tension involving a funeral doesn't make it easy to work in the path at the moment. So, is flooding it with WD40 the best bet and is there a best direction to squirt towards? I assume I should aim towards the edge of the door.
