Well as above the powersounder was removed and thrown in a bucket of water ....after starting to go off randomly .
These things are hard to kill arnt they 
It screamed away on and of under the water for a good 10 mins before giving up.

A few hours later i took it out the water to clean it up to get the part number of it when it started screaming again .... just about s**t my trousers 
It weighed a ton and was full of water but still refused to die so was dunked back in the bucket for another few hours ......
It finally bites the dust .... So ,
Is it worth getting another one ??... I assume the horn next to my power sounder is broken as well as it doesnt sound either but there are wires attatched to it .. seem to remember it being diagnosed and something about a short or open circit to the horn but cause the power sounder still worked then i wasnt bothered about it .... so there will be no sounds at all if someone does do something to the car .
Mmmmm decisions decisions

certainly worth replacing horn with known good.

PS, your call, but only worth buying new IMHO

Yes, they are worth replacing - but as said, only go for a new one.

A recent thread a few days ago about ignition damage following an attempted theft will highlight that your cars are still being targeted and the powersounder forms a critical part of the alarm system, certainly in the eyes of the insurance assessors also (yes they read these forums)

No powersounder = loss of thatcham Cat 1 status = possibly uninsured against theft !!
