well jus make sure u got a really good battery on there... dont think alarm/central locking takes up much juice anyway. so even if it doesnt start i'd hope there'd b enuf juice 2 unlock the doors

think you can hook some wires up to the battery and then tie them up somoewhere hidden, s if the battery does fail u can still charge it.
im sure someone will correct me if im wrong, as i want to do this soon anyway

my fuse blew when i locked my car. i had to break into it, so its a bad idea imo. just leave one lock on.

if you run a power cable from your battery neatly behind the front bumper i think you would be able to charge the battery if it went dead therefore allowing you to open the doors. For an earth just use your brake disc.
Ive read this somewhere else so if its complete nonsence let me know
