Might be worth using the "Search" function, near the top right side of the page.
Good luck.

Have you tried getting someone to push it hard shut while you try to open it? Did you lock it with the key or remote fob?

I locked it with the key not the remote fob and I've tried somebody pushing it open but I think the leaver is not working so i'm going to have to try and get the back panel off to see what is going on.
The problem is- I cant get the back panel off as it's stuck around the leaver from the inside . |

tailgate
you need to remove the inner trim first around the inner lever.prise it off with a screwdriver looks like pic inside (probably with a few more lugs along the top cos they can break off ! thats the side to pry it from,not the wide bit

boot panel
there are 4 clips along the top and bottom of the inner panel - these also tend to break when removed.dont know if you are able to release the lower ones with the tailgate shut
