try unpluggin the bonnet switch - small plunger

you can lock the doors using the door buttons to avoid setting the alarm, obviously leaving via passenger door though  :y

yes, could be powersounder (and its batteries) you can just unplug either of these and the alarm will perform without them.


Do 1 at a time to work out which it is  :y


bonnet sensor very easy to unplug, if it is that you can bend it upwardws to make better contact, or just leave it off  :y

My vote is for the power sounder. Just behind the driver's side front suspension turret under the plastic scuttle cover. Pull the plug on it (it might protest for a few minutes) then all will be well.

Batteries can be replaced if it's not too far gone, or just leave it disconnected.
