Thanks Bill, gives me somewhere to start looking. I had gone round and re-closed all the windows, doors and bonnet when it first did it and was ok for an hour or so then tripped again. It would have been useful if the message panel had shown what had triggered it ! It has the switch for half guard w...

Any tips on locating what sets off the alarm with all doors and bonnet closed and parked up ? Is it done on door switches or otherwise, there's no additional movement sensors fitted and it still goes off if 'half guard' mode set. All the message panel showed was that the alarm had been triggered, bu...

Having resolved my problem, and to be able to recover from being locked out again I have fitted a means of gaining easy access to the electrics. With the battery located under the rear floor, there's a large oval rubber bung by the back edge of the battery, so have fitted a lead to the battery which...

Hi just an update on being locked out, - I'm back in again !!!! :) Having found the same problem on another forum and a diagram of how to get two hooked rods up either side of the radiator to release the bonnet locks, I spent most of the morning lying underneath trying to find what to hook them onto...

had a thought, can anyone tell me if there is access from under the front to reach the starter solenoid to get a connection onto the battery circuit to put a bit of charge in the battery, I can't think where it is, suppose it's all covered up and inaccessible !

not so lucky I'm afraid

it's one of these

no !

the passenger door doesn't have a keyhole to try, nor does the tailgate.

Hi no work done on the vehicle, last used a week ago as we use wife's renault for local runabout during the week, it's just not talking to me this morning ! The door lock feels free but doesn't raise the button all the way, but not enough to do anything, and I can't see any other way into the vehicl...

HELP !

keyfob won't open the doors, (or the spare key) nor will the key in the door lock open it up, just raises the button slightly but doesn't engage the handle mechanism.

Alarm led is still flashing as normal but I'm stuck.

Any ideas ?

I have been looking at a used '97 V70AWD which I am told the previous owner deactivated the immobiliser ( why ?) and just been using the key in the door, although the fob was in the car and seems to lock and flash the lights when pressed. Is this likely to be just a 'key turn' operation if he has do...
