Go to your local Maplins and pick up a solenoid for about ?9, then pick a switch that you fancy, (push button works well) and some wire and an inline fuse and thats all you need. Shouldn't cost more than ?16-17 :)

I've heard that they burn out to quick as in a couple of times,

give it a go mate it's only a few quid and I might be wrong :lol:

Theyre not too bad, only burnt out one, coz a mate opened it and left the power on while he got stuff out the boot :lol:
And only ?9 to replace, so not really a major problem! :)

another kind is rom bad boys toys and theyare ?30 for on and ?44 for two. they are probably abit bettr than theones these lot are going on about cos these are the same as central locking motors ( probably abitstronger, andharder to burn out) and they have buttons and everything with it.id buy tw nd flus your boot and take your door handles off...... sweet.

or go to a scrappy and get a motor off of a car with a boot pop eg vectra, or fiesta then the motor is designed for the job and shudn't burn out
