Just back from a little noise making. parked car locked waited 10 minutes . just to see if it goes off to prove a point. B****R  nothing. anyway could take a chance lifted skuttle and pop'd plug with a long screwdriver. waited 5 minutes noise ended.
For the Boy. Yes it was the sounder.
Does anybody know of a good tech 2 guy around the Staines area (TW18).
Car now parked fro 20 min no alarm(or hazard flashing)
Could it have been the sounder after all.I will say the plug looked a bit green. I'll wait till the weekend to investigat further on this,
Thanks for all the advise.Ian.

For future ref to all, if its the p/sounder that goes off, its normally the p/sounder at fault, poor connection at its connection, or a failing car battery in my experience.

Eventually got round to extracting the power sounder. little bit green around the contacts but not that bad.
Has anyone just cleaned up the contacts and stuck it back in, Will this clear the problem?.
Has anyone taken one apart? How easy is it. Have idea to cut round seal with junior hack saw or am i wasting my time.

Update. cut the sounder open. Little green across some contacts on back of pcb and corrosion on main pins. cleaned up pcb with clean tooth brush and also cleaned main pins with one of the wifes nail files. Sprayed plug with some water repellant. Taped sounder back together. reconnected plug. One blip sound on reconnection. Stapped souder to nearest pipe outside of skuttle. been on now for 72hrs with out any problems.May have cleared fault. Will leave till weekend then refit under skuttle if no problems.
Hoping all fixed.
