Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
Only noticed this problem this morning when we had a heavy downpour followed by hailstone. One of the weather phenominum triggered the alarm off, but no sound. On further investigation, the alarm is actually going off but sounds ill, as if the battery is flat. All indicators are flashing, and once reset, the red led is flashing inside the car. Open the door using the key, alarm goes off but again, really weak sounding and really quiet. I then throught that the alarm is connected to the horns, so something must be wrong with them. Nope, horns work fine.
Anyone got any ideas....as i would like to keep the car as long as possible without some git nicking it in the night (although i could put my two staffordshire in it for safe keeping)
P.S Battery shouldn't be flat, as i use it daily and recently come back from Stansted (450 miles round trip... av 25mpg, heavy right foot in places)
