Hello Tim,

I would edge my bets on this being the SCU and the start of the end of that particular unit.

Does your car have the factory earth modiciation done?

I had this problem not long ago, and had my scu sent off to get it checked out.

Try this guy, he is very helpful

http://www.alarmremotes.co.uk/

but mine came up with no faults, and put it down to the key fob. I found it very strange, as it has been working fine the last couple of months, with the original keyfob?

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

Think he means the SCU behind the centre console, secured by 2 metal plates that unscrew.

Give the guy a call at Alarmremotes, he can do reconditioned ones fairly cheaply, with a new programmed keyfob.

I understand it is a right pain, by the way what car do you have?

This is a good read as well, to understand the problem more:

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.
