Alarm driving me MENTAL

[ManxTwingo]

Hi guys and girls,

How do you disable the alarm in the RS? It is going off more times than I be bothered resetting!

Seriously doing my nut in.

No idea but I'd like to know too, some **** floors it past my car setting off the alarm and it grinds my ****!!

Instead of double-hitting the lock button to deadlock/arm the alarm, just hit the lock button once...might be a solution?

When my car was parked at my parents home and not used for quite a while (rural Norfolk), the alarm would go off for no apparent reason - evidence inside the car suggests it was triggered by some form of small, furry rodent who has since vacated it, leaving a trail of nibbling (namely the volume knob on the radio and some other rubber bits)...

Do all Twingos have alarm or is it just standard equipment in UK?

GT's dont get alarm, believe there's a sensor or summat at front of engine bay nr bonnet catch if youve got a alarm.

In the UK, its only the RS models that get the alarm fitted.

The other models still have the immobiliser and deadlocking

My alarms been set off by heavy hailstone a few times this winter, is there any way to alter the sensitivity on the alarm?

Now what happens when you hear 3 beeps nearly every time you unlock your car.. Been happening for the last few days

Thats telling you the alarm has been triggered whilst you were away.

Ahh ok. That makes a lot of sense

Does this permanently switch off the ultrasonic sensors or do they reset back on every time you start the car up?
