Whoops, went to open boot but it was jammed shut
I could still open the rear window, luckily, so I still have access, but I get the feeling something broke in the mechanism as the release button goes all the way in still but that's it
before I go to the main dealer is there something I can do to get it open then I can look for the fault myself

done it

took the rear door panel off and poked around till I touched something that popped the door open, reckon there was something jamming the mechanism but can't work out wot, no worries I will just leave the panel off in case it happens again
