To stop the powersounder going off & annoying the neighbours, slacken off the battery Negative lead 10mm bolt ( but do not remove it yet), switch on the ignition (but don't start the car), switch off the ignition. You now have 15 seconds to reach the battery & remove the previously slackened negative lead. :y

In that last link I posted, you will see that there are different batteries used over the omegas life. You will have to open yours up to see what type you have before trying to find a supplier? Unfortunately, some types i.e. button cell, are very hard to come by now. Last resort is either remove the powersounder altogether or replace with a new one from a dealer? Be aware that if you remove it completely or disable it, you must inform your Insurance Company or risk invalidating your Cover! :( :(
You may be lucky & have one of the more knowledgeable members come on & point you in the right direction, but unfortunately most are at a forum meet in Newent this w/end & not back until tomorrow?

Has the problem just started today, is there a window slightly open or the sunroof.  I often leave mine slightly open and it seems something as small as a fly sets it off.

Also if I have been doing something under the bonnet and I lower the lid but dont click it shut while I nip in doors that sets mine off as well.
