Alarm problem
 
The alarm is going off intermittently. No apparent reason for it so is this an easy fix or what? Thanks.:bowdown:

Alarm
 
I suspect that the bonnet sensor is setting off the alarm. Best thing to do is to lower the two rubbers mounts, and then close bonnet, if that does not resolve it, check the sensor has not come away from the rubber seal, if it has I suspect that it will be wet, and therefore setting off the alarm

If you need a new one, then they are around £10

Tried the fix today Stu. The bonnet certainly locks down better (in fact the bonnet opener in the car is now too stiff) but the alarm still went off after around an hour of being locked!!

Any more pointers to the cause?

Maybe the boot ones?

How good is the battery?

Town fan eh?

Then I suspect that you need a new sensor
