First up i have a bizarre with the alarm on my 03 plate mv6! Sometimes when i get in the car and start it up the alarm goes off, this only happens very occasionally. When it goes off i have no idea how to turn it off so seems that driving a few metres seems to turn it off. Any help??
Also, is there any members in here who do cambelt changes and other maintenance on a v6??

Nothing? :o

How's it going. Only new to the forum today. Noticed that you are from bishopton. Would you happen to know anywhere that would have any scrap omegas? I'm looking for a 2.2 engine and can't seem to find one anywhere. I stay down in Greenock.

Have a read through Battery Charging & Starting Diagnosis (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90619.0).
When I first got my 2.6 it was behaving exactly as you describe. I was advised that low battery voltage could cause the power sounder to trigger (which seemed odd because the car was starting fine) but when I checked the battery it had one dead cell.
If your main battery is good then remove the power sounder immediately (before it spontaneously combusts...........)

Cheers boys il have a look at the battery, then whip out this power sounder as i hear its dangerous :o only happens very occasionally just quite annoyin when it does cause folk then stare at you as you drive off alarm blaring :(
gpenny i dont know of any omegas in scrappies unfortunatly, haven't been looking tbh lol if you find any let me know tho and if i do find any il be sure to give you a shout!

Powersounder may be causing it, as could a slowly dying battery.
