No, it probably means that you have a vaccum leak, check the pipes at the rear of the engine bay for the heater controls.

Thanks will do.

Hi Steve, Many thanks for the batteries, I will play around with the old unit and try and replace the batteries, if i succeed IF lol I will report back Thanks Dave.

To All... if i manage to replace the batteries can i test the unit without fitting it to the car using a battery charger or do i need to fit it.
Thanks Dave.

Thanks all.... I bought a new unit today as we are caravanning over the weekend cost £49 but hopefully thats the end of the problem  seems ok at the moment.
I have the old unit so i can play around with that and open it up battery changing etc.

(facelift model) The unit is under the scuttle drivers side next to the shock absorber mounting. I removed the star screw holding the scuttle down (drivers side) and driver side rubber molding and one wiper which enabled me enough access to the unit (A black box, held down with one bolt).

No re- programming needed

Many thanks all.
Dave.

Been busy (house move n all) so didn't have time to try anything of the above.

Damn alarm has been sounding for the last 15 mins (1:47 am) soz neighbours.....

I do not use the fob or key to lock the doors i do it manually hopefully for a peaceful nights kip.. the alarm still sounds even if i DO NOT  lock the doors, the only way to keep it from sounding is  1. leave the ignition on( which i can't do while i'm asleep) and 2. disconected the earth (which i have done) all seems quiet now...

I was reading the car handbook(omega 2000/2001 it states.. fuse 13 (10A) is for mirrors, windows and anti -theft alarm....  if i remove this do you think it will help(quick fix) till i get it sorted.

Thanks again a very tired dave

power sounder batts in power sounder unit, under scuttle. According to Vx, not changable, we know different.  Usually, when this batts fail, they beep 4 times every time you get out of car.

This is becoming clearer the alarm does exactly what you say, we park up it sounds 4 times not all the time but i would say in 5 -6 journeys 2-3.

I'm sad not very tech  - where's the scuttle and how would i identify the unit and replace the batteries. If i manage this will i need to reset anything.
Many thanks Dave.

Welcome Dave
Yes, this was the right place to post

Omega has two alarm horns - the main one (normal horn), and a power sounder (goes off if someone tries to disconnect battery to stop alarm going off).

Sounds like your prob is the power sounder.  It could be a faulty unit, or the wiring (dodgy wiring could lower voltage or even disconnect, so power sounder does what it thinks is right).

I'm assuming your car battery is OK (just double check by measuring with a meter, then measure again with headlights on (engine off)) and post back here...

Will do... I'll check all bonnet switches and battery i will keep you informed. Thanks all

Hi all,(Omega 2001) I am new to this forum hope i have posted in the right place -
Basically the alarm triggers itself for no reason, I seem to have two alarms not sure, one alarm when triggered sounds with the car horn and the indicator lights flash, the other which i am having the trouble with has a lower tone, this triggers itself off with a tone only no lights or the horn sound are included.
Any ideas?
Dave.
