All he did was go around each door,open the door and wiggle the rubber grommet between door pillar and door about,moving the wires about a bit I guess. When he did this to the drivers side rear door and shut that door,the door open icon on dash went out and the alarm hasn't gone off on it's own again since.
Might not be that on yours but worth giving all the wires between doors and door pillars a wiggle. Paul
That sounds like a likely candidate - I was beginning to suspect the doors anyway, even though I don't get the 'door open' warning light on the dash unless one really is open. I'll take a look at the grommets. Maybe there's a sensor on each door lock mechanism too - I don't know.

The other one must be the 'boot open' switch, although I must admit I don't even know where it is (mine's a saloon).
