I had the alarm fault today ad yesterday. Yesterday, the alarm went off about 5 times, even when I decided not o lock the car. Today, 5 times as well, so I decided to have the car removed. The alarm fault comes with other technical faults, such as a airbag warning light which cannot turned off, they thried to install a new electronic driver, but ordered a wrong version, so they are still puzzling. No idea when they can resolve this. Anyone had these problems? |

I had the same problem with the airbag light, turned out to be a faulty sensor in the 'B' post. Had no more problems since this was changed. |

Update - my alarm had a weekend of madness - going off repeatedly, then OK, then just the siren sounding but no lights flashing! called LR Assist who sent out the local recovery firm!! He only had a basic fault reader (rather than the Laptop system), and it showed no fault.

My car went to the dealer, they did a 3-days diagnostic test, and could not fix the problem. They asked Landrover NL, and based on the error messages they read, they concluded that one of the four computers in my car is meant for the USA market instead of the Dutch market. This results in that USA error codes are mapped to NL translations of the messages, and it seems that in the USA a different mapping is used compared to what they use in NL. So the guys who should fix the car fix problems based on wrong causes. Strange, as I am in IT business, and could never imagine a Landrover would be like a SAP system

When I took mine in for the PTC fuse , the tech noticed that the battery backed up alarm sounder was disconnected. "Hove you had problems with this he asked" , no mate never touched it. Turns out the thing had been never connected in the factory! , well it turns out that there is a known problem on these , whereby the on-board elcetronics fails and sounds the alarm intermitantly etc! Good Luck |

Spooky my car started to suffer this problem just 4-5 days before it went for its 45k miles service.

Strange... For the year i've owned the car, i've never had the alarm go off, yet since it's first service (December 2008), the alarm has gone off about 4 or 5 times now, usually shortly after i have parked up on the drive and locked the car?

I am sure the alarm is so quiet to not break and noise pollution laws
