Default Possesed or jealous?

I had to take my wifes Volvo out of service until I can fix it so the Disco has been moved up to #1 family car duty for the last 2 weeks and will stay that way for the foreseeable future.

Well this week my truck has developed a quirk (yeah, I know r-i-g-h-t?).
If I am in the truck my wife cannot open any of the doors from the outside, I can open any of them with my pinkie, but she cant even with 2 hands.
She will try and open the passenger door, nothing, I go out and I can open the door right up.
If I reach across and open it from the inside also no problem.
If I am not around she can open the doors just fine.
So what gives?
Is my truck possessed like Christine?
Or is she just jealous?

It's the weight imbalance on one side causing the body to tweak just enough that the doors won't open.

Cool

1. It is highly rare that a Land Rover develop a "quirk" (LOL !!!)
2. It MAY just be a female thing....my wife's ride works well, untill I mention that I have done something to repair or improve the Rover, and then her vehicle suddenly develops problems.

It would take awhile for me to type out all of the stuff that has broken on my truck but then miraculously fixed itself a day or two later.

Driver door handle, drivers power seat...
