  Oh Kev....I`m feeling gutted for you!

[Jimbob]

It sits just under the drivers side wiper scuttle  as part of the alarm system. As Jimbob says the batteries can breakdown and catch fire as a number of members have previously found!!   

It reminds me I must remove mine!!   

crikey.... can this happen when ya driving? any warnings its gonna happen?

when ours went, we heard a feeble alarm go off (we were inside, car had sat for 12 iirc hours untouched), went out to a trace of smoke...I managed to put it out.

here is our thread :

Just disconnect the little tinker. Five minute job and saves a lot of grief.

If you wan't to know how it's done, ask someone who gives a break

Sympathies mate & thanks for the lesson. Next time i'm at MM's mine will be disconnected, stuff the alarm. I love the Beastie that much you'd see a grown man cry if that happened to her, i'd be mortified.
    Besides she's got to last til i can afford the Monaro which i will get....one day....DROOL!!!!!

   Hope you get a good enough payout to replace her with. Guy.

I'm pretty sure this is a 'secondary' alarm, to protect if someone disconnects the battery (it has its own power source, which is the issue). Disconnecting it does not mean you don't still have a main alarm powered by the car battery.

I'm sure an expert will confirm.

Mines been disconnected for a year or two now - too many flat batteries.

as this isn't a fault i was aware of, and my car's been stood for 2 weeks, and will be for a good few more, is it wise i remove mine??

what needs removing? the power sounder or just the batteries? is it a necessary thing to have or doesn it make very little difference not having it?

It`s bolted (along with the 'other' real alarm horn) to the rear face of the offside suspension turret, underneath the plastic scuttle, Danny.....you can simply remove the block shaped power-sounder and leave the alarm horn connected so you still have an alarm.....before doing anything though, you need to do: ignition-on, then off and disconnect the battery +ve within 15-30 seconds, or the powersounder will scream for help.
