Guest markeyboy Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 do as taz said with the locking alarm, just run a coupple of small wires from ur battery to the front bumper or somwhere where you can tuck them away nicley, if ya battery does go flat ga can connect these up to another battery and should easily give enough power to kick ur alarm back into life to get it open again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest turbocabbie Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 how does it pass an MOT ???? The rules state you must be able to “Open and close the driver’s door and passengers’ doors. Check that each latches securely in the closed position. Check also that front doors can be opened from both inside and outside the vehicle.” as stated in the MOT If the car has no handles it can be disputed that you are unable to open it from the outside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
