Hello everyone
My alarm keeps going off randomly and i have to unlock and lock the doors to make it stop. Got so bad last night that i left the car unlocked so as not to upsett the neighbours. Any advice please
Cheers

try unpluggin the bonnet switch - small plunger

you can lock the doors using the door buttons to avoid setting the alarm, obviously leaving via passenger door though

Will have a look tonight and clean up the contacts. Also been mentioned it could be the alarm battery 

[Jimbob]

yes, could be powersounder (and its batteries) you can just unplug either of these and the alarm will perform without them.


Do 1 at a time to work out which it is 


bonnet sensor very easy to unplug, if it is that you can bend it upwardws to make better contact, or just leave it off

My vote is for the power sounder. Just behind the driver's side front suspension turret under the plastic scuttle cover. Pull the plug on it (it might protest for a few minutes) then all will be well.

Batteries can be replaced if it's not too far gone, or just leave it disconnected.
