My Nissan Micra (04) key won't open the boot any more. I can hear the doors unclick but there's a deafening silence from the boot. Unfortunately the key only works in the ignition and there are no key holes for the doors or boot.
Should I take it to the garage or should I get a new key cut? Or???
All solutions would be appreciated.

Maybe something is trapped. Can you check from the inside
Is there not a boot opening button inside?
If there is only the ignition keyhole I'm unsure getting a new key cut is going to help. I have no experience of Nissans but I assume it is a button on the fob you press ? I'd suspect ff is correct and something has moved inside the boot and jammed the mechanism. In any case my first thought is to go to the dealers and ask for help. They may know how to go through the back seat to move stuff, or even a better way to solve it.
There is a keyhole on the front passenger door. You have to slide back the fatter end of the handle to reveal it. However, that won't solve your problem. If the doors open with the fob, there's something wrong with the central locking system and it needs the garage.

Thank you all for your answers! I have managed to open the boot from inside by lifting the parcel shelf out, f-f, and yes there is a wee white plastic button that can be moved to one side which opens the boot, Z-M, but nowhere can I find keyholes on doors or boot externally, O-J, or any helpful gadgets inside, other than levers to open the petrol cover and bonnet. My car looks more like a VW Beetle as it is newer than the one in the link, Baldric. So I think O-G I will have to ring the garage on Monday. It will probably cost half the car's value to fix it so i am pleased that I have had all your suggestions to try to fix it myself first! Thank you, all!
Try to see if you can LIFT THE DOOR UP ( PULL) when you hear the door unclip Querty, It seem's that the lock is releasing but not fully, do not go to the dealers as it will cost you quite a bit, find a family run garage ( Small Garage)
Seems to be quite a common problem with the Micra's, I believe it's caused by water getting into the switch that controls the locking / unlocking of the boot.
probably caused by driving so bloody slow, its full of dust, scrap the car and get a decent one.
