Tailgate will not open

Tailgate will not open
I have an Outlander 2008 European model and yesterday, the tailgate decided that it would not open.
The handle makes the usual noise but it will not un-latch the lock.
For background info, I had locked the doors with the central locking switch on the door panel and then unlocked them when I stopped the car. All the other doors unlocked as normal, but the tailgate did not.
I have tried many times to open it after switching the central locking on and off, both using the switch and the key-fob but with no joy.
I have also tried to open the tailgate from inside through the little access hole without success - it is solid.
Has anyone else had this problem? Does anyone have any ideas how to sort it? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
