My Scorpio came with the remote which according to the previous owner had packed up at least three years ago (and wasnt replaced after a quick phonecall to the FMD  )
Anyway I got it working with a bit of cleaning and some new batteries. Ive just noticed now that the door locks have gone a bit stiff due to not using the key anymore.
Maybe it would be an idea to give the locks a turn every now and again just to keep them moving, as we've had a few posts in the forums recently that shows the problem doesnt really surface until the remote fails and you find you're locked out

 I've had mine about a year now and it has just struck me that I have never put the key in any of the locks at any time.
I'm just off outside to have a go... 
 phew.... it works in all locks.

It's great to activate from a distance just when someone is walking past it , it sure makes 'em flinch.

Interesting idea, or maybe place a coin on the back window ? Lots of possibilities for fun, games ( and compo. claims ).

Please don't open the boot at 40 yards in a ropey area or if there are some crack smoking chavs about....your cd changer will be out and gone before you get to the car!!

I would lose..
I don't use the original remote as mine has an aftermarket alarm fitted.... Scorpion...
Does the business but I can't program a normal remote as I have many flavours of conflicts happen and have on occasion totally locked myself out of the car.

I haven't got a chance, my estate boot doesn't seem to open when it's unlocked... something about the laws of physics i'd say!!

Excellent
I like the idea of hinging from the bottom, could use it to splat the little brats who pass behind
