Top Rear Tailgate won't open

Hi
Just registered to this fantastic site
Can anyone help, I have an 54 reg that I have owned for the last 4 years and loved every minute but this week the top tailgate has refused to open. When I operate the button under the handle the lock does make a noise but does not release. Is there a way of getting into the mechanism with both taigates shut?
Any help would be very wellcome

Search for rear tail gate latch on the forum e.g http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic27461.h...gate+latch. Sounds like its gone. Circa £25 for part to do yourself (instructions on forum too) or dealer will charge £90+.

P.S. Welcome to the site!
