Used a remote similar to that on an old TR4A....way back....lol

Seemed to work......a bit .....think I was expecting more......

Seen Jeep ones (not remote though) lots,of forum Twitter about some not working......turns out it's down to engine not making enough vacuum.

thinking exactly the same in regards to location, thought about below the battery on the right hand side but that was where i was thinking of putting a spare battery
