	impressive replies to the problem! i reckon im gonna do the extra battery idea with the key switch :thumbs: any ideas what sort of battery will do that?

	btw, i would use a key switch rather than a normal flick switch, because it adds a little more security to thing - ie: if someone did find it, they couldnt just press it and get into your car etc you would need a key to activate the switch :)

	keep a battery in the boot that is for the sole purpose or popping the locks, have a switch hidden outside the car so if the battery under the bonnet goes flat you got a back up switch

	when i had everything smoothed off my nova i ran two insulated wires to outside the car, so if the battery went flat, i could power the locks on an external battery or jumpr from another car. did help once which was a god send. how could you power it from a smaller battery in the boot if you cant get in the boot?

	i am wondering this i have no door handles so if anything goes wrong with the doors i have a remote reciver on the smooth tail gate so i can get in the car but if the battery went flat this would be useless

	I have heard of people having a mechanical means into the car that can be used in emergencies hidden away
Lucusade	posted on 8th Jan 04 at 14:16
	Im thinking of putting some door handles on without the locks on it. The cars all alarmed with cl etc so that wont be a problem. only thing im not sure about is that the boot is smoothed and so if anything happened to the battery there would be no way into the car. is there anyway of opening the bonnet without having to be in the car? used to go through the grill on the nova? anything similar?
