If you mean the boot door then if you pop out the "landrover" badge you can get to spray the lever with wd40.

search google as this is a known and common fault - as said access via badge. There are repair 'kits' for this sold for this usually on eBay.

On ours it's the outer hanle that siezes a good squirt and a wiggle on the pivot points sorts it out
