I know, old post, but it still applies. I picked up an '08 LR3 recently and the creaky door handles were driving me crazy!! Not only are the handles plastic, but they creak like hell. Should have at least been made out of aluminum (aluminium?!) I searched the web for 'creaky door handle on LR3' and found this thread. Thanks to this forum and thread, I figured out how to take apart the plastic handle and cured the creakiness. I tried some silicone at first, but it still creaked a bit, so I lubed up both pieces at the contact points with petroleum jelly - now there is absolutely no creaking at all! Thanks RWO!
