I hav had a long think bout this but i stil dont kno wot 2 do, if i get the door handles smoothed and get a button under my mirror then thats fine, but wot bout if the button doesn't work for sum reason i won't b able to get in my car

So there is a chance that the electrics will fcuk up now and again, but its easy enough 2 get in without damage.
If it does happen where i cant get i will probably b that pissed off i wud end up punchin the window thro anyway

So uz reckon i shud get it dun?

it is not only an mot failure but illegal to drive a car with out at least one means of getting into the car from the outside on the car, e.g. tvr button.

Not true... The method can be to smash window an open the door from the inside...

no, this is untrue, any garage will yell you/make you put a button or simular device on the outside. i have been told by the police themselves on this issue.
