Pajero tailgate lock stuck

I came to open my tailgate last evening and the lock would not disengage. Although the key appeared to turn normally, there was no pressure on the handle to open it. I also tried from the inside, but although there is a release handle, there is nothing to unlock the door. I get the same result whether I try the central locking (all other doors work) or the key in the tailgate istelf.

I mentioned this to a fiend who said he had the same problem (intermittently) and had even resorted to having the door smashed open.

Can anyone help please?

Have you tried removing the trim panel from the inside?

I've seen this question from time to time on
