My 04 Disco II, will lock with the key, switch and remote. However, if you unlock the vehicle with the switch or by using the key, the lock will not pop up on the rear gate. However, you can crawl in the rear and open it from the inside and the lock will pop up. But unless you do that, it will stay locked.
Is there a trick to making it unlock or something. I can hear the actuator click but the lock does not move..

You have a bad lock actuator. Need to replace the unit. I believe some folks have replaced the little motor inside the actuator with luck, but i couldn't tell you how to do it
