My symptoms were I couldn't start the car, and the alarm kept going off when I opened the drivers door.

Strange as this is what is now going on with mine,If the car has been standing for two days or more then it will go off when i get in the car not when i open the doors,But it doesn't go off if say ive been out for a couple of hours nor does it go off if i use it the next day. I have to lock it then unlock for the alarm to turn off.

Sounds like one of the door sensors, or the interior sensor above the drivers side door.

This does seem a very common fault with the mk2 ZS
