yes i bought and fitted them, never finished hooking them up to the electrics. a little fiddly to position the holes you have to drill, but with patience, its possible to get it right.
I wanted mine to be activated with the alarm remote, but didn't get the right kit, so was fiddling around with the wiring for a while till more important things came up. its on the list for this winter.

[spud1979]

thanks for the reply, have bought two now, one for each mini so hope to fix them in soon, have no alarm on my cars so hope the fob and all works

[keith]

just be careful when drilling the hole in the inner door-frame, my drill popped through and nearly went out through the outer skin.

Just wondering do you still have option to open doors with key? If car battery was dead. Nice kit .

[zakgt]

I have the same kit (not fitted), I have an MPI and it is designed to plug into the alarm.

[spud1979]

Not bad for that price anyway. I'll let you know how good when fitted. Say key would still work

[keith]

i can confirm key entry still works. it wont turn off the alarm though!

Cheers Keith
Just wondering. Might be on wish list at some stage.

when you order the kit do you get the rubber liner with it that goes between the door and the a-post. or are the wires exposed all the time.

[keith]

i seem to remember there was a flexible rubber tube included (2 x)

[spud1979]

Arrived today so let the fun begin. Instructions a bit small.

[spud1979]

Anyone thinking of buying these? Just to let you know spoke with company today and there is only 35 of these left and won't be reproduced. They had been supplying them to rover before they went bust

[danny]

what is the quality like. do you get the rubber sleeves to hide the wires also with kit.

Hi guys I have supplied and fitted these kits and their are a good kit but the motors are a bit weak so the best thing to do is grease up the locks to help the motor. I can wire up the kit to work with the rover remote fob so it will lock and unlock also I can supply a remote unit with two fobs or a alarm that will do the same but at least protect your car.

Cheers Spud, PM sent. Like the idea of the central locking too,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I think

[spud1979]

I have it on mine. Handy but alot of work just to lock two doors

[CB_Phil]

After fitting are there any drawbacks? How long does fitting take?

[spud1979]

Just lots of extra wiring in behind the centre clock. It took me and another fellow a couple of hours. The instructions weren't great.

Still could be a nice mod to think about, Cheers for the help too man
