Hi all, my alarm has recently started going off on its own. Seems to be since i changed the remote batteries although i cant see the connection.It seems to have a mind of its own-as if its too sensitive, and will run the battery on the car flat. Any ideas. john.n

Hi there,
A common fault is the bonnet switch. Check also all the doors switches. You could take them out (1 screw) and give them a bath of contact cleaner.
