Std Alarm systems?

Nords · 08-03-2009, 05:13 PM

After parking the CSL once during my week with it, the alarm went off numerous times. It is parked on a sloping driveway which I think is the problem, I'm guessing it is 15 to 20 degrees. . Unlocking and relocking reset it but it wasn't until I drove it again that it stopped alarming. It only did it to me the once.

Anyway it was fine when I left on Thursday but it would appear that my dear wife decide to try to drive the CSL yesterday, but didn't get far. She couldn't work out the SMG (although we have had one before) and couldn't start it (Hurrah!) However the alarm has been kicking off again as the neighbours have just complained (it did it while she was out).

Any ideas? I can't get back for a month odd, can the noise of the alarm be switched off, can it be locked with the immobiser on and alarm off? I'm slightly worried about the light weight battery being knackered by this before I get back too...

Yo dude

I doubt it'll be the slope. I park mine on a steep slope and it's never 'falsed'. A mate of mine has recently had a lot of trouble with his alarm (sounds like what you're experiencing) so I'll ask him what they did to sort it and report back..........

Cheers Elliot, I was searching MTorque as I remember the ole bonnet catch thing. It could be that...

I'll tell her to WD40 these three spots!

Press the remote lock twice that switches off the ultrsonics. also open all the doors and boot and bonnet and close them again that some times helps.

Change the bonnet switch - sorted mine out.

Open driver door turn on the ignition, turn off the ignition, close door and lock by inserting the key into driver door lock and lock.

( if double press of the lock button to turn of the ultrasonics doesn't solve the issue).

So that means I can lock the car with immobiliser on but bonnet and interior alarm are off?

Yes, as the immobiliser is a transponder type, built into the ignition key with a receiver located around the ignition barrel.
