You can get the solenoids from here:

http://www.autoeurope.co.uk/

for £12,50 each and the buttons from here:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=19096&TabID=1&source=15&WorldID=&doy=7m3

iirc they are £5.99 or something!

Wiring is a piece of pish and they are very good solenoids!

Ive just had mine done last week and those solenoids are great, they struggle a litle on my doors but thats due to the dynamat and doors builds that weigh a tonne!

Might get a spring or something so that when the doors pop it pops off the latch rather than cathing on it!

i was lucky i found some on ebay which some bloke had previcoulsy imperted from america. worth like 150 quid i think it was. solenoids are stupidly powerful. the buttons i got were the maplin ones and well they aint too reliable! had 4 of them already and another went yesterday so i just put a plastic housed switch in instead and it works a dream.
