Blast ..The tailgate wont open

Hi all, hope you can help

Tried to open the rear door (TD4 5 door)
window droped an inch but door won't open
the door catch is fully depressed and will not pop out

Have got the window up again using the switch in side the car

central locking seams to work ok on the other doors

Well i be damned the wife got it open

It seams the lock/handle was jammed in and she was fiddleing with it and it poped out she then opened her up.

So it all operates but the lock/handle doesnt feel right
the window now drops on the fob as well

ill have a look at a later date, and post back the fix

any help appreciated
