My rear door catch on my disco1 is seized, any ideas how I can get door open?

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
