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?

Also, why such a wimpy sounding alarm, i was under the impression the alarm sound was the same sound as the panic alarm (horn etc), so the first time it went off it took me 2 or 3 minutes to realise it was the landy!

Steve

One stupid question : How does the alarm sounds?
Isn't it the same horn beep , like when you try to lock the car and a door is open ?
I don't remember hearing it and I have the car for almost 1 year ! Except for some horn sounds a long time ago.

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.
Disconnected the battery to get a bit of peace, and rang the dealer who checked with LR to see if it was a known fault. They came back with "Have you had any problem with Auto lights and Auto Wipers". Well, Yes I had - the lights had started coming on in normal daylight and the wipers were also very sensitive for a few days last week. I had put it down to a dirty windscreen over the sensors and had even washed it.
The dealer thus claims to know what the problem is and has ordered a BBS. (I believe that this is a battery backed sounder). Now waiting, deafened, for it to come in.

Stealers have confirmed that it is indeed the BBS (as in previous posts)......................they should get a one tomorrow and then we should get the car back. Although it is nice in the brand spanking new 09 HSE that we have as a loner.
Not wishing to put it down but it doesnt look as 'nice' without the privacy glass or the xenons, but thats another debate!
I do like the new 'silver coloured' aux power covers that are in the centre console, they are like little cigar lighters and not like the plastic/rubbery things in ours that fall off as soon as you look at them.

Could be a call to the stealers in the morning to order a pair so that they will match my cubby box  Discovery Sport Hse Lux, Santorini Black, Ivory Leather Interior, Factory Privacy Glass, removable tow bar.

Back home again and all fixed.  Discovery Sport Hse Lux, Santorini Black, Ivory Leather Interior, Factory Privacy Glass, removable tow bar.

We had this yesterday on my wife's Fl2. By 11pm I disconnected the battery. Went off again 3am; so I staggered out thinking how the ing hell is it doing that to find it was a neighbours house alarm

LRA have been out this morning - top job took out the BBS and is off to get a new one which he is going to fit this afternoon or tomorrow. A pain that it has gone wrong but top marks to LRA for their service. All cars have problems but it is how they deal with it that leaves the real impression  D4 HSE Lux for me

My BBS was removed by the dealer ...December 2008... they tell me they are STILL waiting for the part

This is the same dealer that wont acknowledge a battery fault despite 5 unexplained flat battery/fail to start events ... but then you know my feelings about dealers ... Stornoway Grey GS ... What a fine motor ... but not any more ... ... psst look at my gallery!

.........make sure that they don't slip into your pocket by accident.................

Had a call for the guy to come back and fit the part 6pm this evening. Avtur seems your dealer needs to be changed to one who can give a toss D4 HSE Lux for me

Hmmm,

So there is no back order for the BBS, looks like a call to the dealer to get them moving on the replacement, as mine was taken out 2 months ago . . .

Paul;

Mine started going banzai last night.
First the alarm with lights, then just alarm.

It was so quiet I didn't even think it was my motor and silently cursed the whose alarm was ruining my evening !

Joys another fault

Update.
Called LRA out tonight as alarm going off like mad.
LRA TEXTED me to say when guy coming (?!).

Recovery guy (not LRA) turned up and removed the sounder. It is now wrapped in towels waiting for it to die.

I am taking it to the stealer Monday.

TEXTED me......

They used to phone you back to see how you got on with the mechanic but no more I see
