Thanks for your inputs! With regard to the engine, perhaps I should listen to a few others before I get paranoid! thanks for the wheel alignment contact.
Re the alarm, it only ever goes off after I've left the car for anything between 10 mins. and half an hour (as far as I know!), and it's lights and sound so it probably isn't the alarm battery, but I will properly check the bonnet sensor as suggested, any idea where it is?
Thanks to both of you
Charlie

I've had my 2001 2.2CD for about six months now, but there are a few faults that are niggling me!
1. The top end is quite clattery, it's always been the same but sounds like a quiet diesel when going through tunnels! are these engines always this vocal? if not is there a test to see if the hydraulics tappets are ok? the car has had a new cambelt some 8000 miles ago(at least thats what the service receipt says!) and has done 91000 miles approx.
2. Despite new lower wishbones on the front suspension, the car still doesn't track quie straight. I am going to get the tracking properly checked/adjusted, but in the meantime do these cars suffer any particular problems in this area?
3 Alarm!!!! like a lot of others it keeps going off at random(when activated), I've heard that the bonnet sensors can be troublesome, and that simply taping it dowm might do the trick, any thoughts?
