You might get a better answer calling them solenoids and posting in Help Zone.

In a word, yes. Unless you fancy a nice new windscreen for £80ish excess.

It could be done, if you tried hard enough. Or the rear screen, or the side windows. Normally covered on insurance without loosing NCB!

maybe you could make some battery terminal extensions hidden under the car, so if you get a flat battery you can just connect up some jump leads and your sorted.

Thats what most people do, i did it on mine, just ran a postive wire from battery to underneath of front of the car which if needed you can charge the battery through or on a jumper lead/pack!
Its worth paying for a good solenoid! Mine were fairly good ones but if your doors are slightly heavy like mine were then they pop but you have to get your fingers in to pull open!
