From inside I think you have to remove the plastic panel

 

Thanks but once I removed the panel what then, am I likely to be replacing parts or fuddle around with what's there?

hi you say .9 dynamic but what model Megane, laguna, clio ? so I can only generalise a solution. The most common fault are the wires where they enter the tailgate from the top left hand corner, the wires inside the rubber tube are known to break after the boot is opened so many times. Check for broken wires and if found re join using connectors.

Sorry yes it's a Megane 1.9dci and I'll have a look at the wiring today. Thank and I'll report back

You can unlock your boot, by dropping the two rear seats, armed with a small screwdriver climb into the back,you will need a torch, on the boot lock you should find a white plastic pin,(sometime this is accessed through a hole on the lock housing) if you gently push the pin over to the other side the lock should release!

 

Thanks I've managed to open the boot but it's still won't open once I close again, pressing the boot release button open or closed does nothing.

Push solenoid (whitehead) tap inside the (black) solenoid and try few times activate with key.

Solenoid is usually black box which has white headed rubber covered white tap.

If it attemps to move or moves then lubricate tap with ptf lock or gun oil. Before that you must pull rubber a bit off solenoid motor side. Run few times and then lubircate again.

This was my solution.

 

Sounds like you mechanism isn't releasing. Also check the wiring, especially in the boot release switch, to see if there is any corrosion. may be that the switch is broken. It happened with my megane. I bought a new switch (easy to change) and I had a working boot again.

 

Thanks to all and I'll try all the suggestions mentioned and report back hopefully with good news [emoji120]

Had a similar problem on my wife's Megane tourer, it was the switch inner coming out of the casing. You pressed it but couldn't feel it clicking. Took it out and a few dabs of superglue held the cases together and it's been fine for a few years now.
