The rule has only just changed to all doors.

I've just asked the question to the MOT examiner I use and he said any door which fails to open from the outside results in a fail. Occupants can not be removed in the event of an accident. Stupid in my view, with many self locking systems or people locking the door anyway would also inhibit...

The car in question was a 2005 D3 HSE TDV6, the fault started as an intermitent one but over the space of a couple of weeks it eventually failed altogether. After a little digging I found the remote keys can fail after 5-7 years approx, they recharge themselves when in the ignition and the...
