Hi All,
I wondered if someone could shed some light on this:
I got ready for work as usual, went out to the car, unlocked it, and as soon as I opened the drivers door, the alarm went off... I closed the door, re-locked the car, alarm still going, probably for about 20 seconds or so... unlocked the car, same thing happened..
So I got in the car and started the engine, alarm still going, switched the engine off, got back out, locked the doors with the key rather than the central locking... then unlocked it using the key... same thing happened..
eventually after trying and retrying different things with the central locking and also using the spare key. I decided to just start the engine and leave it running while the alarm was blaring... the alarm went off, but never came back on, I chanced turning the engine off and getting back out the car and locked it, tried unlocking and the alarm never went off this time, everything seems to be back to normal.
Does anyone know what could've triggered this?
I should also point out that the drivers side lock is quite difficult to get the key in, you have to shuffle the key about and it will eventually go in... I don't know if someone has tried to steal the car last night, or it was like that when I bought it (just over a week ago I picked it up).
Thanks.
