Mine did that. Broken wire. Getting the door card off isn't difficult, just be careful not to break the clips. Wait til you get a warm day, everything gets brittle in the cold.

+1 for a broken wire, it's a common fault

Thanks guys, is it likely to be where it enters the door?

They all do that indeed (second row doors on 110s). I had my right side rear door wire replaced a good year ago, so that was after 7 years, and the left side wires broke just two months ago and were replaced recently. Probably good again for another 5 years or more now.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |

Yes in the rubber flex between the door and pillar is a good place to start looking. If not in there then the trim will have to start coming off 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Mine were done a couple of years ago under warranty. With kids the rear doors get used a lot and the constant bending of the thin wire snaps it. The dealer was well aware of this problem and always uses normal electrical flex from a Twin + Earth cable for a more long term fix. He even showed me how to do it myself should it happen again (except I've forgotten
 )
