I don't have any problems with the car alarm sounding with no reason. At least I don't know, because as I live in a block of flats the car is mostly parked quite far away. But my last car had the alarm going off for no apparent reason. So just thought to find out just how sensible the alarm is.
So just some thoughts:
- would a fly accidently trapped in the car turn on the alarm?
- will heavy traffic turn the alarm on?
- in my last car I observed that if the bluetooth connection was not well fixed the alarm went off much more offten.
- also in my last car I saw that if I closed the car with the remote and then oppened it again to take some luggage out and closed again without starting the car or not waiting for a couple of minutes the next time I opened the car the alarm started.
Of course I have put this on the fact that the car was French.
So has anyone had some problems with the alarm? FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

No problems with my FL2.

Had problems in past with Mg TF though - dealer replaced sensors twice.

One way to find out Matei - catch a fly and release it in the car, lock the car with the alarm on and wait awhile, and awhile, and a while more - so that I can get a few more posts in on Freel2 before you get back to your PC  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Now why didn't I think of this
I am genineualy interested if an insect as small as a fly ca trigger the alarm.
On the other hand considering temperatures in Norway you probably don't have any flys at a all.  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Is the car battery alright?

My last car kept doing this and it turned out to be the battery was kaput.

Voltage dropping was setting off the alarm......

Good point but the car did it almost the second day I bought it. Never did it while I was for servicing no matter how hard I tried.
The FL2 seems to be in order but I still sort of expect the alarm going off everytime I press the unlock on the remote. Hope she stays like this.  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER
